Are the handles heat resistant?

Definitely. They are made of hard black plastic that encases metal handles on most items. Heat from normal stove top cooking does not effect them nor are they effected by the heat of a dishwasher set on high heat. The plastic does not conduct heat so I have found them to be easy to use without oven mitts (though I do not recommend this). I have not, and would not, put them in an oven without checking the Revere ware website since the packaging says nothing about this that I could find. I also know from experience that they are incredibly durable. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Ours are stainless steel with a strap handle. The handles on the pans stay cool (stovetop), but make sure you use a pot holder when lifting the lid, the handle get's HOT :-)

The handles are coated plastic/vinyl over metal. I have only used the pots a few times, they seem to be durable.

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

They do with proglonged high heat so I use potholder/mitt. You can purchase protective heat proof slide on handle to place on handles & they work fine. Great pans regardless.

The handles stay cool on the stovetop. The lid handle does get hot on high heat but not at lower temps.

They are metal handles. . .oven proof. I use my pan on the stove top and then place it into the oven to finish cooking my paella and deep dish pizza.

No, they don't! And they are comfortable handles too. The small stock pot handles do get warm but I think that's true for any brand.

No, because the handles have a coating on them that will be damaged by high heat.

They seem to be. The handle detaches and the rest of it is all metal. I use them in my camper and wash them in the sink.

The handles can become hot. For normal heating up something they are fine. But for prolonged cooking I do need a pot holder.

I have not tried what you ask but I would guess that the rubber handles are not heat resistant. I did not see anywhere on the product that the handles were silicon/heat resistant. You could send an email to Bright Springs and ask.

I, too, gave this set to my future daughter-in-law as a Christmas gift so I would not be able to answer this question from personal knowledge. Although I believe that the cookware is safe to use in the oven and that the handles are made to withstand the temperatures, I would not use them in the oven because I would not want my cookware to be tarnished from the heat. But that is just me.

There has not been a problem with safety of the handles during my use of this product. If you are asking if they get too hot: no, they do not overheat. They also are attached securely. I have been satisfied with the product.

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

The handles are not completely heat-resistant. However, if I have cooked something for a short amount of time, say 20 minutes or less, I can hold the pans by their handles. If I need to use a pan for an extended time, I need a pot holder. If what I am cooking makes a lot of steam, the handles will get pretty warm, hot over an extended time. But I find my supposedly head-resistant handles will do that in the presence of steam also. All in all, I am pleased with how these handles respond to heat.
