Do the handles get hot while cooking with induction?

Unsure, they are stainless and attached however the copper layer is only in the base.

Not really, however it depends how long you are using the induction heat. I use my Nuwave for everything, of course I have to calculate what can keep warm while I am using induction for the last dish before serving the meal. I hope you are enjoying the WMF Provence Plus as much as I am.

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

Yes, Virginia the external aluminum does get hot during cooking. You should always use the handles.

I have never noticed the handles getting hot, the cup where you place the potatoes does get hot of course since they are hot when you are ricing them. You are not going to get burned while using it however.

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 pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

In my experience, it depends on how high you're cooking. At normal general temps, the handles on the pots and pans themselves are generally not too hot to the touch, but if you cook with the lids on the whole time, the lid handles will need to be removed using a potholder.

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.

No, because they are made of aluminum. For induction you need something a magnet will stick to, like cast iron or steel. Read about induction cooking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

Have had these pots for about 6 months and use them frequently. Handles on lids tend to get hot but we just use a hot pad so not a big deal. The handles on the pans themselves don't get very hot at all.

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.

Only the handles on the large pot get hot because they are attached parallel to the pot and are smaller. The long handles on the medium and small pots and the pans do not get hot.

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.

Yes, they do get hot. I have not had one that the pot does not get hot. I love this one!!

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

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.
