Do the handles get hot?

Yes they do. The instructions say so and it is stated on the appliance. But, this is the best cooker ever.

The handle on the lid will be hot as will the handles on the aluminum liner. But the cooker is great.

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

Kathy, The handles definitely do get hot when you use the removable case-iron insert on a stove. I always use pot holders to move the cast-iron insert off a burner. It's such an advantage to be able to brown food before you cook it in the slow-cooker that I don't mind using the pot holders.

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.

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

No, the rubber-clad handles do not get hot due to the pan being on the stove, even if on a burner for an extended time. Of course, you need to ensure that the handles are not above an adjacent burner: they would get hot if positioned above a hot burner.

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, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

There has not been a problem with safety of the handles during my use of this product. If you are asking if they get too hot: no, they do not overheat. They also are attached securely. I have been satisfied with the product.

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

No, the handles do not get too hot to comfortably handle them without pot holders.

I've had them for over a year. Never had an issue with the handles getting hot.

No they don't get hot. I have microwaved these and other shapes and sizes of the same type, and no problems. I think they are realy nice looking and serviceable.

No, not at all. There is a slight design flaw with the lids and the handles on the big pot. The lids are glass and the handles on the lids are a bit too close to the covers' surfaces. The soup pot handles are very close to the metal. The handles don't get hot, but they're really close to the hot metal of the pot and glass in the lids. As a matter of safety, I always use pot holders, because I'd prefer not to burn my knuckles. But you have nothing to worry about with the saucepans and the skillets.Hope this helps!

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.

Th handles get hot, not red hot. We use pot holders when moving the pan. It is an excellent pan.

The handles can become hot. For normal heating up something they are fine. But for prolonged cooking I do need a pot holder.
