No, they are easy to handle. Just be careful of rising steam from the vents.

NO They are made of rubber so they do not get hot. They are actually very flexible, easy to install. Really love them.

They do not get hot. But they do require a transformer which may get hot. I am using them in a kitchen exhaust hood which already had a transformer built in.

I think that they warm up fairly quickly and get hot enough that I turn them down. Their size is better than other ones that I have had in the past too.

Typically no. I use them in the microwave all the time and they do not overheat. The only time I've noticed them getting hot to the touch has been when I microwaved a bowl of water for five minutes to steam clean my microwave. That time the bowl got pretty hot and I needed to use a towel, but that's been the case with every bowl I've ever done that in.

No they don't get hot at all... i had them on for over 5 hrs for a shoot and it was fine.

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

They do get very hot, hotter than most I've used but that's why they work well.

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.

I haven't really noticed them getting warm but like many things electronic, I would imagine they could possibly get slightly warm. They certainly have not gotten warm enough to attract my attention. I currently have one programmable one and 5 that are not programmable. I am thinking about replacing 4 more.

Yes! Definitely gets hot to the touch. I was surprised because a number of reviewers indicated that it was only warm, etc.

Yes, they should. Only after remaining in open flame or handling hot things for a duration have we noticed any transfer of heat.

No fires for me. But they did get extremely hot and that was a concern for me as well. When I unplugged them to change cartridge it was very hot!! Unsettling.
