Do the red handles easily get worn out or stained?

Have had the product for 9 months and the handles are just fine, not worn or stained. I agree with the other comments, using a gas burner, the bottom is showing just a bit of ware, but nothing usual for everyday use.

No absolutely not. The handles are rubbery..and the screws look like it's welded on so I don't think they will come lose.

The handles are actually pretty bulletproof. They look perfect after 10 or so months of use. The parts getting dirtiest/charred are the machined lip and the bottom (gas burners). But that may or may not be relatively cleanable with something a bit stronger than dish soap...

Yes, there are rivets on the inside of the pot from where the handles are attached. We have never had a problem with them and there isn't any rusting or discoloration. I hope this helps!

They're somewhat easy to clean. After about 6 months ours stained and was slightly a different color. They were somewhat easy to remove with a paint scraper after 2 years in the tub.

I've owned mine for probably 5 years (all white), writing on teaspoon and tablespoon is rubbing off (the ones I use most). Also, white will discolor slightly if using for certain spices. I washed with a little bleach but the surface has lost its shine. I got tired of babying them and found a used set of stainless Foleys on eBay. Grandma used them, they are 2-sided and very sturdy.

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

When I first got my set, they seemed to be a bit shiny, possibly a light finish. It quickly wore off after a few uses. The handles are still shiny though.

Hi Greg, The picture you see is the way they look. They are a nice color red, but not real shiny. I love the soft handles and tops too.

No the red paint will fade and disappear if you wash them in the dishwasher.

I've had mine since April and think they are great. Although they are white, I've had no issue with staining, which was something that concerned me when I first got them. I also haven't had any issues with scratching, but I'm very careful not to use metal utensils with them, and I don't stack them directly on top of each other. I just put thin towels between them for storage. Overall, I'm very pleased with this set and would recommend purchasing them.

No rusting but although the style and weight is really nice I do have some scratches on the handles after 6months use. I do love the design and get compliments on them. ( : Jackie

Mine shows NO signs of design wearing off. I do only wash by hand, don't know if putting in a dishwasher would make a difference.

I have had these for about 6 months, we just mop them when we mop the floor. No stains on ours so far.

Mine is great. I use it all winter on my 1920 Glenwood cookstove to slow cook and braise. Thus far I've had no probs with staining but I don't think it's much to worry about at any rate. I use Bar Keepers friend to clean any stubborn enamel. It works great and does not scratch. It's an old product made from rhubarb.

I have the red one and have used it nearly everyday for a year. The color is still as pristine as the day I opened the box.

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

I've had mine just over three years now and have never had a problem. Not daily use, certainly, but for projects as needed. Kitchen cabinets, louve doors, moulding, the odd piece of furniture. I do make sure to clean the pieces properly (relatively easy, since there are so few parts), but I've had no durability issues so far.

The red dye did come through when I used it the first time. I ended up tilting the red cap at an angle to avoid the butter coming in direct contact with the cap. I have had no problems with it turning the butter red after that. Occasionally, the threads of the handle have shown some red.
