Do the handles on the pot and lid stay cool or do you have to use pot holders?

They are metal and attached to the pot so you do need to use pot holders to lift it,

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.

Unless left on high for quite a while the handle remains quite cool to the touch. Come to think of it I don't think I have ever had to use a potholder.

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.

No, the handles do not get hot; so you can easily move the wok to your serving area while the food is still cooking.

The handles on the pans do not get hot but the handles on the pots and lids do.

the handles stay cool, if you can see the picture of the handle where it goes from silver to black---the black part is rubber or silicone so it can be handled. hope this helps.

The bowls dissipate heat very well but you still need to use a pot holder. They are of a thinner variety/bowl

Yes, the handle stays cool. I can't remember a time when it got hot. After heating and the cover still on, steam can escape around the part of the cover over the handle. Remove the cover after heating and there is no problem.

Only the handles on the large pot get hot because they are attached parallel to the pot and are smaller. The long handles on the medium and small pots and the pans do not get hot.

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

The metal sides and bottom get hot, but the handles on the unit & lid stay cool (they're plastic).

No problem at all handling pans, pots, and skillets without a holder. Even the large pot can be picked up without mitten, although, if you're cooking something long term on gas, with heat going up beside pot handles could get warm.
