Does the handle get hot when cooking with this pan?

The handle does not get hot unless you are using the pan to cook in the oven. Then you will need a hot pad.

Warm on the long handle - yes, but totally manageable without a towel, oven mit or pot holder. I have never tried to grab the smaller handle on the other side without one of the previously mentioned.

The lid handles do get hot, and you will need pot holders to lift the lids. You do not need pot holders for the long handles. That is the only drawback to these pans, I love them otherwise!

Handle is a good solid cast design, rounded metal, that stays cool to warm in use. Pan should be used only up to medium high. Could warp if used on high a lot.

I cook on a gas stove and the long handle does not. The short handle does if it is near the heat source. It's my favorite pan. I use it on a daily basis.

My handle does not get hot while using it to cook bacon. It might get hot if the flame/electric grill is set on too high a setting but I don't ever use my stove that hot. Mine will get hot if left in front of the oven vent as the heat from the oven goes directly on to the handle and you will have to use a potholder to move it. The only reason it gets hot in that position is because after washing the flat iron, I put it in the middle of my range (near the oven vent area) as a decorative item. Since it is iron and looks nice on my stove, I learned the hard way not to leave it there while my oven is in use.

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

I use the pan on a flat top electric stove with the pan being heated with a small diameter heating element. Under those conditions, the handle does not get hot. I do not normally cook more than two eggs at a time- usually just one. I like the pan a lot.

Yes, it does. The metal around the ceramic cooking bowl looks like it's double, but it still gets hot. The handles don't get more than warm, though.

I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing no. The handle would get hot, I'm sure. It's not cast iron like the rest.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

The handle does not get hot. We don't use a mitt to move pan around or serve unless you grab the handle near the pan which we don't. Little extra info we have had this pan since June of 2012 and it still works great. We do use it at least once a week.

Yes, very hot. I love this little one egg pan, and the hot handle is the only negative.

Yes, it does get too hot on the handle. Mine didn't last very long. Too bad because if it didn't get too hot it would be a great one!

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

The handle does not get very hot, however the lever thats attached to the lid gets very hot and has to be handled with care to avoid getting burned.

It does not. I wanted that feature too considering my children would be using this oven. Since I've had the oven, we have been burned a couple times so we are very aware of the door getting hot. The handle remains cool. I purchased one of those little oven mitts that look like a duck bill, that seems to do the trick with smaller tween-sized hands.

No the handles do not get hot. But the frying pan that I ordered in December went back. It hummed when plugged it and then the thermostat cut out. We were trying to cook bacon. We bought this pan in 2008 and it was great but was worn out. At this time, I don't recommend the CSK-150 as Cuisnart is phasing them out. See my post...Buyer Beware!!

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

Yes it does. It would be nice if the handle was a different material so it wouldn't. Usually I just take it off really fast or use a hot pad.
