Do the handles get hot if cooking on cooktop? I have an induction cooktop. Will the handles get too hot to handle with bare hands?

The handles do not get hot. I also have an induction cooktop, and I heat water in this pan every morning for my instant breakfast drink, and sometimes the water is boiling. I pick the pan up by both handles with bare hands and pour it into my mug with no issues. The pan is large, and the lid has a small vent hole in it that keeps it from boiling over. This pan is one of the best purchases I have made. I love it.

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.

I have had no problems with the handle heating up while cooking. I have had this pan for several months now and use it frequently. I love it!

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.

No, the rubber-clad handles do not get hot due to the pan being on the stove, even if on a burner for an extended time. Of course, you need to ensure that the handles are not above an adjacent burner: they would get hot if positioned above a hot burner.

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.

In my experience, it depends on how high you're cooking. At normal general temps, the handles on the pots and pans themselves are generally not too hot to the touch, but if you cook with the lids on the whole time, the lid handles will need to be removed using a potholder.

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.

All cast iron. Yes the handles do get hot. Use heavy weber BBQ gloves to move. Love it. Food really has a better then when I wok inside with my stove top wok. Enjoy.

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

I think the manufacturer warns against heatinhg them up too hot. I don't use high heat with this pot on my induction stovetop. I also didn't use high heat on my ceramic electric cooktop.

Yes. No matter what I have cooked on the cooktop the handle has never gotten hot. However, once I left the handle turned and it was over a recently shut off burner and it did get warm, not hot. But I would imagine left for a prolonged period it would have gotten hot enough to burn.

As of today, when cooking on the top for the stove, the handles stay cool. I was cooking wild rice to boil on stovetop and then in oven. I put the 2 quart pan with the lid in the oven today at 375 degrees for 45 minutes immediately after stovetop boil, and yes you will need oven mitts to remove at both the handle and the lid get HOT! After the lid and pan cooled from the oven, cleanup for the lid and pan was no different from just stovetop cooking. THIS PAN SET IS WONDERFUL!

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

Yes. I make many things I start on the stove and finish in the oven. The handles get very hot as expected. I believe I read that the lids cannot be placed in the oven. I am a trained chef and I highly recommend this set; it is by far the best set I have had in my home for nonstick cooking at a good pricepoint.

For the most part the handles stay cool. I have noticed the handles get hot near the pan when the pan is heated to a high temperature.

No. Never had a problem with that. The only caution is when the pot is REALLY full. I burned my hand with alfredo sauce when the hot sauce ran down the channel in the handle and through the hole in the end. Otherwise, I love the pots with my induction cooktop.
