do the handles get hot?

Unbelievably so. Do not purchase this item. They are a total waste of money. I have never been so disappointed with a purchase in my life!!!

Depends on what handle: I have had this set for almost four years and I do not generally have to use mitts to, for example, rotate or pick up the skillet. However, if you are asking about the lid handles then, yes, the handle on top can become hot.
999542
Yes! I bought this set as a present for my daughter and family and was very disappointed at how hot the handles got.
999543
No, they stay cool, as long as you don't have them over a heat source (or in the oven, OBVIOUSLY). Under normal use, I have not had the handles get hot at all. Love this set. I am careful when washing and have not had any problems so far.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.
999547
Yes. Relatively. But by then the whole coating is damaged and discolored. The handle temperature would be your secondary problem.
999548
Yes, under high, prolonged heat they can, and the 8" fry pan has lost it's non stick qualities. They also stain easily.

Okay, after my last answer I went home, and cooked several batches of hamburger in the largest pan. It was on the stove for over half an hour. The narrow part next to the pan got warm, but the thick handle never got above room temperature.

Yes the handles stay cool on all my Cuisinart pots and pans. The only time my handles get warm is if I cook on the burner that is larger than my pot and heat rise up the outside and when I put the pots in the oven which is great. No more pouring from a pot into a casserole dish for the oven.

The handle does get a little warm close to the pot. and the lids knob does get hot.

As long as the handles are off to the side they don't get unreasonably hot. They do get a little warm but nothing that requires oven mitts.

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.

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

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

They certainly get warm like any cookware, but they don't get as hot as the rest of the pot. My mom's stainless steel cookware doesn't have the insulated handles like the Calphalon Simply line and her handles get too hot to comfortably handle. These do not.

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

Yes, the handles do get hot. Also, the directions that come with this pot recommend that it not be used at high heat. The manufacturer recommends using it at no higher than medium heat. The pot heats very quickly because of the halogen core.

Yes, it does get very hot unless you get a fitted silicone cover for the handle. And it is quite heavy ..the pan. But good quality if you take care of it properly.

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 when you cook on the stove, only when you put it in the oven.

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.

No, the handle in the pots and pans will not get hot, they are well designed. However the handle in the lid will get hot of course.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.
