With the metal handles, I worry that they will be hot. Is that an issue? I usually buy non-metal handles. Thanks.

No. However these things suck and the coding in the inside is being destroyed very quickly. Do not buy them, if you respect your money.

No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

We own a whole set of these. Never had that problem as long as you don't grab the handle too close to the base(pan)

It's a non issue with this cookware. Main gripe for me is they do not seem to fully clean after cooking. Smells seem to stay stuck on the Teflon? I think that's more of an issue with non stick cookware in general though.

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

I have had my set about five months now. I've not had an issue with the handles getting hot. I love my set!

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.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

When using them, the handles will stay together, so it is not a problem. I suppose you could use some sort of clip if you're worried about 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 bought the Emeril cookware for my wife for Christmas, at the time there were a few complaints about the handles becoming hot. After using the cookware my wife says she has had no problem with hot handles and really likes the cookware.

I thought the handles would get hot. I was very pleased to find the handles were easy to handle even after cooking for a while.

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

they are metal, and as one reviewer noted, if you have an overflow due to the scoop design allowing it to stack, it can collect some hot water in there. THAT can burn you. I have never believed the handles themselves are too hot under normal situations.

They have plastic handles which I think would melt. But if you ask the manufacturer they would know best

Not sure on the materials they are made of, sorry! Handles seem to get to hot tho

the handles stay cool, if you can see the picture of the handle where it goes from silver to black---the black part is rubber or silicone so it can be handled. hope this helps.

It depends if you have something cooking nearby. I have only ever had a problem with hot handles once from the steam of a pot next to it heating it up.

I find the handles to be very sturdy. They have not bent and I've had mine for a few years now. My Husband has even used them and he hasn't bent them either. He is a bit more rough with things than I am, well because he's male ;-)

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

Mostly - in comparison to many pans. The lid handles get hot if you've had them on for a while and naturally they get very hot if you've had them in the oven.

Yes, the handles get hot because they are not plastic or rubber coated including the sides of the pans. They cook evenly and are beautiful and so it is a trade off I guess. You just need a towel or pot holder handy before grabbing anything. If this type of pan is something you really want, you will get used to using them. I have no regrets with my purchase.
