Do the handles get hot? If so is that a problem?

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

They are coated in plastic and don't get too hit for my caloused hands. But if you don't cook a lot, they may get a bit warm for you. Keep a hotpad nearby and you'll be fine.

I use them on my gas stove. You will find that the handles get hot. Good Luck!

Amazingly, they don't get hot at all. It's always a good idea to use potholders, but a brief hold on these handles will not be hot.

No, not at all. There is a slight design flaw with the lids and the handles on the big pot. The lids are glass and the handles on the lids are a bit too close to the covers' surfaces. The soup pot handles are very close to the metal. The handles don't get hot, but they're really close to the hot metal of the pot and glass in the lids. As a matter of safety, I always use pot holders, because I'd prefer not to burn my knuckles. But you have nothing to worry about with the saucepans and the skillets.Hope this helps!

Yes, Virginia the external aluminum does get hot during cooking. You should always use the handles.

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

I have never had a problem with the handle becoming too hot while simmering for any amount of time on the stovetop.

No, the rubber-clad handles do not get hot due to the pan being on the stove, even if on a burner for an extended time. Of course, you need to ensure that the handles are not above an adjacent burner: they would get hot if positioned above a hot burner.

I have had no problems with the handle heating up while cooking. I have had this pan for several months now and use it frequently. I love it!

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

No, the handle in the pots and pans will not get hot, they are well designed. However the handle in the lid will get hot of course.

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.

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.
