Do the handles stay cool while cooking?

The handles stay cool when used on the stove top. Don't know about being used inside the oven, but why take a chance use an oven mitt.

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

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

No, they don't! And they are comfortable handles too. The small stock pot handles do get warm but I think that's true for any brand.

The lid handles do get hot, and you will need pot holders to lift the lids. You do not need pot holders for the long handles. That is the only drawback to these pans, I love them otherwise!

The handles are stainless steel and riveted to the pans, meaning they can probably withstand more heat than the other parts of the pans can. The only drawback to the handles is that because they're 100% metal, they won't always be cool to the touch.

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.

I thought the handles would get hot. I was very pleased to find the handles were easy to handle even after cooking for a while.

You are correct. The handles are made of metal and will heat up as the wok warms up. I find myself not needing to use the handles while cooking since the wok never moves due to the weight. Still going on strong in our house :)

No, the handle in the pots and pans will not get hot, they are well designed. However the handle in the lid will get hot of course.

They are heat resistant. The handles are actually very nice with a comfortable grip.

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.

The handles don't appear to be insulated, but I don't recall ever needing a potholder to handle them. They have gotten warm, but not really hot.

Okay, I just read the Aeona answer and I totally disagree with her saying that the exterior stays cool to the touch...you better not touch the stainless steel while it is cooking waffles or you are going to get burned. But the handles do stay cool.

The handle stays cool when cooking on the stove top. It does, however get hot when used in the oven.

LaVinnia, the handles should not get hot to the point you can't handle them. However, if the pot has been on the stove for several hours or if water ever over-boiled out of the pot, I would use a pot holder.

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.
