Does this get hot on the handle i.e., needing a glove?

The handle is made out of the same metal as the pan, so the heat will gradually be conducted down the handle and it will get hot.

Yes. The handle does get hot, and you will need a glove or towel. The beauty of these authentic pans is that they get hot very fast...and hence are great for bringing liquids to a boil. The surface discourages sticking, too!

Yes it does. We bought it for "Nostalgic" reasons. They are functional and "fun"...

The handle does not get hot unless you are using the pan to cook in the oven. Then you will need a hot pad.

No. I've had mine for a few years now. I've used with a hammer to cut through big roots in the dirt. Hand never slipped down on the handle. Even when using it in a chopping motion there is no chance of your hand slipping off of the handle. Now this of course is with common sense. Hands not oily, gloves covered in some kind of oily substance, handle on knife not covered in oil or some kind of slick substance.

I haven't had any problems with the handle getting hot but, as with any splatter screen, I make sure the handle is not hanging over the heat (by being used on a too small pan). I am very careful when handling the splatter screen (especially washing) as the handle connection does seem fragile.

The handle does get hot after a few minutes. I usually use a towel or an oven glove to hold the handle. I am using an outdoor, high BTU burner and use high heat, so that may make a difference.

Yes, the handle black part always gets super hot. I have been using this product for over 5 years and i love it. Just be careful w handle. I usually take little breaks in between so it wont get too hot.

I have used it for some time now and have never had the handle get to hot to pick up.

My handle didn't get hot but the barrel got too hot to touch. The heater shopped working on the last two of these I bought so I switched brands.

It does get fairly warm but, try holding a little lower than where the plates end towards the handle. You'll have just as much control and won't get burned. Remember, it's a pro-tool so it does get considerably hot, so be cautious in handling it either way.

Warm on the long handle - yes, but totally manageable without a towel, oven mit or pot holder. I have never tried to grab the smaller handle on the other side without one of the previously mentioned.

I have had no problems with the handle. It doesn't get hot and hasn't loosened at all. Please note however that when I tighten the upper portion to the bottom I do not use the handle for leverage. I grip the body of both the top and bottom to tighten. Also what is difficult to see in the pictures is that the black plastic on the handle is made of two pieces which run vertically along both sides of the handle and leaves a strip of the metal exposed. It doesn't seem to affect usability though. It's just something that was not apparent from the photos.

No, the handle does NOT get hot. This is the best (functional and elegant) coffee carafe on the planet.

Yes. Handle stays cool and unit shuts off if you pick it up or tip it over. Heat comes out of vents below fake flame - vents probably get warm but not hot. I recall this is a ceramic heater which should not get really hot like other types of heaters. My main complaint would be it is a little noisy but I like the low price and small size.

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.

No not too hot to touch on outside---You use the handle. It's a great product.

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

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.
