does this handle hot when cooking?

The handle does not get hot when cooking. There is actually rubber padding on the underside that keeps it cool.

Most definitely, it gets hot. Before the egg is even done, you don't dare touch the handle. I have to use an oven mitt. That is my only complaint. It should have a rubber or plastic coated handle. The handle, about 1/8" in diameter, is connected right to the pan, and the heat very quickly conducts to the handle.

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

Relatively speaking, it certainly does. As an example, I heat the pan for 5 mins first, then heat oil in it for another 4 mins or so. Then cook a fried egg in it, which is probably about another 3 mins. The handle will warm up slightly near the pan, but where you grab it, it stays perfectly cool enough for normal use. (Should point out that my 'prep time' is for the all stainless, not the 'non stick')

Handle nor handle on lid get hot. Lid may get warm but generally not overly so. In my opinion, Cuisinart really thought this product through.

No, the handle does not get hot. I have used this pan now for many months daily, the best pan I ever purchased. The interior is still perfect, even when exposed to fairly high heat. Can wholeheartedly recommend this product.

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.

I did not have a problem with hot handles, but beware of the thin metal of the pan. I have found that things burn and stick easily.

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

The handles on the lids do get hot. The long handles are hot near the pan but cool at the far ends. When holding the long handles the pans can feel heavy and can be difficult to hold with one hand.

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

Nope, I haven't found that it gets too hot to handle. It gets warm but not unbearable. I have used it on both the low and medium settings. Hope that helps!

The handle does get hot but not as hot as plastic. You would need a mitt. We keep ours on our wood stove. On the cook stove, it doesn't get as hot.

No, the handle does not get warm or hot. Plus this lid fits every pot and pan I own cleans up so well in dishwasher, it looks like new. Don't hesitate, buy it, you won't be sorry.

No, it does not get hot. I own 3 different sizes in this pan. It is the most amazing pan I own. The handle is made out of a heavy duty plastic that is heat resistant.
