will the handles stay cool even when the pot /pan is hot?

the handle does, but I have to use a pot holder for the lid as it got real hot.

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

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.

I have never had a problem with that handles getting hot, I was cooking potatoes and some water bobbled out on the handle and Made it warm. I use these with induction cooking, they are great pan. They are well made and highly recommended

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 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, 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!

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

Yes, the handles get hot because they are not plastic or rubber coated including the sides of the pans. They cook evenly and are beautiful and so it is a trade off I guess. You just need a towel or pot holder handy before grabbing anything. If this type of pan is something you really want, you will get used to using them. I have no regrets with my purchase.

The handles stay cool on the stovetop. The lid handle does get hot on high heat but not at lower temps.

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.

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.

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.

Not at all. The handle stays cool no matter what. This thing is awesome. My only regret is not getting a bigger one.

I have a gas stove, and the pans handles don't get hot, but I do have to use a towel or mitten for the pot.

there is a rubber insert between the handle and it does stay cool to the touch, it might depended on how much heat you are using but for the most part i think you would be ok.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!
