Does this set work well on a gas stove top? Do the handles get hot?

I got my Stoneline at the end of December, so haven't had it very long. I have been using it on a gas stove and I really like the way it cooks. The pans with the black handles do not get hot. There is a square pan that has short metal handles that come with cloth covers to use on the handles. I think that the pan is for the oven. I haven't used this yet, but assume this pan's handles would get hot.

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.

Yes. We have a glass top stove and have had good luck with this set. We've been using it since Christmas and have had no negative issues with it as of yet. No regrets.

Our experience has been that the handles do not become too hot to touch, including the top handle and have neveremitted an odor. Our cooking has been done on a GE Electric range using older coil type elements.

The saucepan handles stay reasonably cool when on the stove. The short handles on the pots won't stay cool.

I know the handle stays cool when the pan is used on an electric stove or a flat-surface stove. I never used one on gas.

I have had my set about five months now. I've not had an issue with the handles getting hot. I love my set!

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

Not on a camp stove. When at the edge of the coals of a larger fire the handles do get hot though. Use a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil for a lid, it works great.

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 hot on the saucepans and the saute frying pans. But, the short handles on the dutch oven do get hot. But, I've never used a dutch oven whose handles didn't get hot.

Yes they do as you can see they are attached to the steel so they get pretty hot. This unit is a traditional Chinese Wok. Mean to be cooked over natural gas setting the wok inside with another steel and wood (handle) flange to lift it. Most folks don't have this. The cooking is lighting fast. Gotta season it. I have that kind of stove. If you aren't against teflon, there are many and they will have a safe handle. But if you have a large burner stove and lots of ventilation, you will be happy. Or you can use this but caution hot.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.

I have a gas stove, but it's been my experience that they cook evenly. I'm very happy with this set.

Cheryl, although this set of cookware is the best I have ever owned--for a glasstop stove, I do not know if I would be willing to purchase them to use on gas- I would be afraid they would discolor, although I have no proof of that.

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.

I haven't had any problems with the pot handles getting hot. The lid handles are cool touch on the underside of the handle however the tops are not so they can heat up. If you lift the lids from under the handles its fine.
