Do the handles really stay cool?

They do to some degree, however, I wouldn't pick it up without hotpads! Having said that this is one of my favorite pots. It's so versatile!

To me it gets hot very easily. If I cooked something more than 5 mins, I will get burned with handles without potholders. It's disappointing for me. I stewed something for 1/4 the volume on gas stove for about 15 minutes and it already got too hot to hold.

They stay fairly cool. There have been a couple times when I needed potholders for comfort.

Yes the handles stay cool on all my Cuisinart pots and pans. The only time my handles get warm is if I cook on the burner that is larger than my pot and heat rise up the outside and when I put the pots in the oven which is great. No more pouring from a pot into a casserole dish for the oven.

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.

No, I haven't noticed any heat coming from the handles. Hope that helps. So far this has been a great product!

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.

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

I'm not aware of any problem with the handles. I do know that the handles do not retain water. Hope this is helpful.

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

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.

I know they are riveted but not sure if silicone handles but I do know the handles don"t get hot

I haven't noticed that they have any sort of cooling effect. It may just be that they have better ventilation than other products, but for me I have found that I do get hot in them from time to time.

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

There has not been a problem with safety of the handles during my use of this product. If you are asking if they get too hot: no, they do not overheat. They also are attached securely. I have been satisfied with the product.

If by that you mean, do they stay cool when in use ... no -- they get hot. That is the only thing that I would criticize about the pans though. Other than that, they are great.

No, they do not stay cool so I use a pot holder. My old set had wood on the handles & lids but then you could not put those in the oven or dishwasher. I knew before I purchased that would be a problem as I had one pan like these. Hope this helps.

The handles do stay cool, and in addition the product makes the best steaks I've ever had!

Amazingly, they don't get hot at all. It's always a good idea to use potholders, but a brief hold on these handles will not be hot.

The handles are not completely heat-resistant. However, if I have cooked something for a short amount of time, say 20 minutes or less, I can hold the pans by their handles. If I need to use a pan for an extended time, I need a pot holder. If what I am cooking makes a lot of steam, the handles will get pretty warm, hot over an extended time. But I find my supposedly head-resistant handles will do that in the presence of steam also. All in all, I am pleased with how these handles respond to heat.

The handle does stay cool. The lip opposite the handle gets warm after 20 min or so of cooking. Not absolutely flat but pretty darned close. Works fine on my ceramic cooktop.
