Are the handles screwed on or attached with rivets that can be seen from inside the pot? Screwed on handles almost always get loose.

The handles are screwed on to the pot and do periodically come loose. The good news is that the screws are easily tightened. This version of the handle, by the way, is better than the original.

There is a screw on the outside of the handle but no rivet on the inside of the pot.

The handles are screwed on, this is the second pot we've gotten the first have an older type non-stick surface and gave it up after years of heavy use. We had never had a problem with the screws loosening.

The handles do not get but the lids do...I love my pots so I have a pot holder ready at all times. I have several of these pots.

The handles can become hot. For normal heating up something they are fine. But for prolonged cooking I do need a pot holder.

The handles are riveted, four heavy duty rivets per handle. This has been an excellent pot for my 5 gallon batches. At nine gallons, plenty of room for the wort from even 20 lbs of grain mash for a 5 gallon batch.

The saucepan handles stay reasonably cool when on the stove. The short handles on the pots won't stay cool.

Handles are metal (stainless) riveted to the pan. You will need pot holders. In my experience, most "Dutch ovens" have metal handles because they are designed to be used both on the stovetop and in the oven.

Hi, Martha - I'm at work now, and can't remember exactly HOW the handles are attached. I believe the interior of the pot is flush with no screws or anything for food to catch on. I do know that you will NOT be disappointed with this stock pot. It is of heavy, beautiful construction. I've used others that are thinner and tend to easily burn food at the bottom of the pot. This pot is so superior to what I've owned in the past and worth every penny. I hope that helps you!

The handle is permanently fixed to the pan by two large rivets. The polished rivet heads are inside the pan. We like the size of this pan. Heat butter. etc.Hope that helps. Would buy this again.

My pot has a dimple inside where the handle is connected. It is not hollow.

Like the others have stated, riveted handles that are quite sturdy, the stainless is also quite heavy, I am quite happy with this pot, when mine came the cover handle was disconnected from the spot welds but I liked the pot so much I took it to a local welding shop and had it reattached.

Mine are riveted - bought June 2011. I've lifted, moved, and poured using the handles with ~8 gallons several times with no issues.

I experienced no problem with the pot handles at all, but I only used the stovetop, and not the oven. I never used the lids during my (short) trial period with the cookware.

Yes the handles are securely attached to the pan. We have used this pan many times and it is a quality product.

Not sure of the terminology but I would say that they are riveted on. There is nothing that goes all the way through to the inside. I have had this pan for over 20 years and just bought one for my daughter so every time we make sauce or soup I don't have to take my pan over her house. I love this pan. Handles on my 20 year old pan are completely secure just like it was brand new.

Handles look to be riveted; I have two pots and both are such. However, the Winco brand is a heavier pot with a heavier bottom for the same price.

They are spot welded on. Count yourself lucky if they do not break off at some point. I owned this set for a few years, and shortly after buying it one of the handles simply broke off. Good luck trying to get a replacement even if it is covered by a warranty.
