No the handles are not cast iron, but they work great. I was completely satisfied with them.

The original is aluminium. I exchanged the cast-iron for another aluminium and it's great.

I can't see which of my reviews Mark D. is asking about. They are all cast iron, except for the one I reviewed in February 2014. The 2014 purchase has cheap grates for the charcoal to rest on that are not cast iron.

they are some kind of very hard plastic material. the bolts are not galvanized, so they are rusting. but the handles are doing great, my kids really lke using them. each piece has a easy and hard way to install making them very versatile.

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 appear to be cast iron. As best I can tell, this is a well constructed heavy duty bandsaw. I am well pleased with it although the blade that came with the exstension kit was not very sharp.

Not 100% positive without cutting into them, but I think they are cast iron.

Season them? I've only seasoned cast iron cookware. I washed them before using them but other than that I didn't do anything to them. I've used them now for two years with zero problems. I love this set

If they are cast iron, leave them alone, most can be cleaned with a good stainless steel cleaner, however if they are heat stained, get rid of them and buy new ones. We have pans over 50 years old, and the only problem with them is the handles are coming off, so we are getting new.

It's stainless steel. I think the handles are different. I use Kleen King to clean these and thats for Stainless steel, they clean up very nice too. There very durable and you don't need oven mitts to handle them. Best cookware we ever got. They're not "non-stick" but as long to use the correct temperature and fire height, you will be fine.

No they are not, but with over a year of use I have had no issues with this coming apart or otherwise. I have a feeling this product, like cast iron, will last for at least a lifetime.

All Lodge Cast iron is made in the US, in Tennessee. It's one of the only totally American pots and pans companies. Very old method, nothing has changed. It's a mold and they use sand. Look it up as it's interesting. I talked to one of the men who makes them when I was at their store in TN.

Dawn, what type of handle problem are you asking about. I have used my set on gas, and propane and I am thinking I might have even took it camping once. They are the best thing I have ever cooked in and when I take the time to really clean them all over they look brand new. As far as the handles are considered, I have never had a problem, but I have seen some replacement handles on Ebay. Let me know if this covers it. Happy New Year

The knob is not cast iron. It is a heat resistant material called Phenolic. (http://www.sdplastics.com/phenolic.html). I put mine in the oven all the time. No impact. You can purchase different versions if you want but I like mine. :)

No, mine is stainless steel, not cast iron. Works well though, and I just put it in the dishwasher when done.

The handle is also made of cast iron. I have not had it get too hot to touch, if that is what you are wondering.
