Do the handles get hot fast when on the stove?

Yes, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

LaVinnia, the handles should not get hot to the point you can't handle them. However, if the pot has been on the stove for several hours or if water ever over-boiled out of the pot, I would use a pot holder.

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

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

I haven't had any problems with the pot handles getting hot. The lid handles are cool touch on the underside of the handle however the tops are not so they can heat up. If you lift the lids from under the handles its fine.

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

I have had my set about five months now. I've not had an issue with the handles getting hot. I love my set!

Yes! I bought this set as a present for my daughter and family and was very disappointed at how hot the handles got.

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.

Gail,The handles on the pans do not get hot. I use them for induction cooking but I think it is the same for gas stove too.I hope this helps. I love them and they stack perfectly.

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 handles can become hot. If just heating up something they are fine. But if something takes a while to cook I do need to use a pot holder

I've not had any problems with the handles of my Calphalon pans getting hot while using them on the stovetop. And the handles are quite comfortable. These are great pans!

The handles gets warmish if the pan is kept on the stove for say longer than say 20 minutes. I use a gas stove and it could be because of the high flames radiating on to the handles. I would recommend using a mitt. But it a small con considering the quality of the product. I have been using it for more than 3 years and still rave about it.

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

They seem not to get hot. The heat is concentrated in the flat bottom of the wok. I normally move the wok to the table after I have cooked the food. I don't have to use a pot holder. I always stir fry in 2 TSP of oil. I can't say what would happen if I had boiled a wok-full of water. In that case, the handles could get hot.WAL

The saucepan handles stay reasonably cool when on the stove. The short handles on the pots won't stay cool.
