Are the control knobs metal or plastic and do they get hot from being close to the burners?

According to the manufacturer's website they are professional grade control knobs made of "weighted plastic".

I don't know, but the handles don't get hot at all. I don't even use potholders on them. They clean up really well - they still look new and I've had them for 3 years and use them daily. I wouldn't use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. And never put them on the hot burner without anything in them. Enjoy!

I use them in my RV over a propane stove. Although they nest inside of each piece they are quite heavy and the handles are plastic and detach for switching between pieces. My opinion is that the stainless would discolor in a direct fire and the handles may be damaged if used over a fire rather than on a standard stove top.

I use high heat with mine and they are fine. I have electric, so not quit sure, just would make sure dishes are centered on burner.

They are metal, but not solid metal. I believe there is plastic inside of the handles. The faucet works well in my RV and looks great.

These knobs are made of some kind of heavy cast metal. They're very nice and we're pleased with the ones we purchased.

They are made of stainless steel with a steel disc on the bottom for better heat distribution I have an Induction cooktop and it works well

Keep these away from your stovetop, they are not heat resistant at all. I can't really complain since they are inexpensive and are made of plastic. Just be warned.

I bought these in July and do not have any problems with the metal handles. They do not get hot.

Plastic. Burning did not have any issues. You should be pulling these back and forth fairly slowly.

Yes to both. It is a thin metal with enamel coating, (like an old stove). It heats up quick, so be carful not to scorch.

The chrome reflector is metal and the grill on the front is metal - but the exterior housing is plastic. But the plastic parts do not get so hot that you can not lay your hands on it without getting burned; even on the 800 watt setting. I have no complaints on my heater. It does a great job.

I think they are aluminum, coated nicely with the white. I got them for my daughters stove that came with her townhouse cuz the burners are ugly, she rarely uses them and they require black goopy stuff to keep them looking good. The only thing thats bad is her stove has a slanted area so the covers sit at a bit of an angle and don't sit flush but they are pretty sturdy. She hasn't had any complaints for her use.

These are stainless steel and copper on the bottom. Induction heat has no flames. I would think it would be the same as an electric range top. So I think it would be fine. Google it to be sure but we are talking about a form of Heat, and a form of metal. I think it would be fine but find out for sure if you have concerns. Hope this helps.

They are stainless steel. My only regret is they don't fit my Kenmore BBQ as well as when I first put them in. They seemed fine at first but when they got hot they bowed upward. The Diffusers hit the grill so I have to be careful nothing flames up or burns. I was not aware of any warranty. I have learned how to use them the way they are.

I've done both and it works fine. Just make sure if you put them around the burner they don't impede the flame or gas flow. This can cause hot or cold spots and/or difficult lighting.

The knobs are made of some kind of metal - solid material - have held up very well. No chipping etc....have had them in entire house for 8 months so far (bathrooms....kitchen....built in cabinets in bedrooms). Very happy with them!
