Do the handles stay cool?

I know the handle stays cool when the pan is used on an electric stove or a flat-surface stove. I never used one on gas.

Yes. The handles stay cool. Revere is good stuff. Not fancy, not newest, just good stuff. Will last a lifetime.

Yes but I have some 25 + year old revere ware that I used to put in the dishwasher and I noticed that over time those handles degrade and don't stay as cool. My newer revere ware that has been hand washed stays nice and cool! I have a gas stove.

The handle stays cool unless it is over another hot burner or pan. I don't use a pot holder to move it when water is boiling.

Okay, I just read the Aeona answer and I totally disagree with her saying that the exterior stays cool to the touch...you better not touch the stainless steel while it is cooking waffles or you are going to get burned. But the handles do stay cool.

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.

Not at all. They are really nice-looking handles and we've been very pleased with them.

I bought these as a gift but I do not think the handles are heat resistant.

They are heat resistant. The handles are actually very nice with a comfortable grip.

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

The handles don't appear to be insulated, but I don't recall ever needing a potholder to handle them. They have gotten warm, but not really hot.

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

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

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. Our only concern about the handles is that they are quite short. Other than that, they are fine.

yes, they do. i purchased this item while i am in transition. the best pots/pans i have ever used whose handles do not heat up are made by demeyere. since they are so expensive I look at it as an item I can purchase one a year

The handles on the pans stay cool enough to touch with bare hands, but we generally use a pot holder or mitt when removing a lid when the pan is on the stovetop. Hope this helps ...

The handles stay cool when used on the stove top. Don't know about being used inside the oven, but why take a chance use an oven mitt.

It gets pretty warm on the outside. But, if you need to move it, use the handles - that's what they're for and they don't get hot.

The handles do not get hot when cooking. Bar keeper's friend cleans any residue on them, but if you get the pan hot, not too hot before cooking with a bit of oil little will stick.
