Has anyone had issue with the handle heating up while cooking? I'm replacing my "simmer" pan that require long stove top times.

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!

We keep this pan on the stove and use it every day and have not had any problems with the pan. I love it and if anything happened to it, would have to buy another one.

I own the Calphalon Unison (Sear) 12" with the small handles on both sides. These handles do heat up while cooking. I also have the 10" with one large handle and one small as shown in the picture. The large handle does not heat up but the small one does. These are both terrific pans though and I love the searing feature of both. For me the handles are not a problem.

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

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!

We did not experience that issue with our cooker. However, we threw ours out after the handle broke off while transferring the cooker from the cooktop to the work surface. We think it is poorly made so not surprised to hear of your problem with it.

I haven't had any problems with the handle getting hot but, as with any splatter screen, I make sure the handle is not hanging over the heat (by being used on a too small pan). I am very careful when handling the splatter screen (especially washing) as the handle connection does seem fragile.

I haven't had those problems at all, it closes all the way, gets really hot, heats up fast, temperature setting to change how hot. very please with the results for the price, bought this one after my 200$ one broke, handle snapped.

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

If I simmer something for a couple of hours, the handle on the lid of the dutch oven starts to get a bit hot. Handles on the saucepans do not get hot.

the handle will get too hot to touch if you are using the grill on high for an extended period... but for everyday grilling we have not had that experience. Even roasting a chicken (where you are not using all the burners on high) has not been a problem.

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

Tina I don't know what that would be. I've never had that problem, but I would definitely call the manufacturer and let them know about it. That is really strange. Sorry I couldn't help you. How long have you had the skillet? Can you return it?

I don't cook things for more than 20 mins in it. The handle for the pot doesn't get hot. The handle to the lid does get hot though. I love this pot.

I had trouble with the handle too. My husband finally got it on, but the first time I used it the teflon coating started coming off. I didn't bother trying to put the handle on after I washed it .I threw the piece of junk away.

Never heard of that problem. We've had ours for several years and several hundred uses. I would recommend never heating it for more than 2 minutes without repositioning it just so you don't get hot spots and cool spots.

No, the handle does not get hot at all. I havd had the pot for about a year and use it daily. I don't really have any complaints!

Sorry to hear that. No we haven't had any problems at all with the handle. We do have a little water leaking out the top of it if that top knob comes loose, but no issues with the handle

I think I have the same skillet and I use it with no problems. A good pan like the All Clad should radiate the heat all over the pan's surface.

I have a gas stove and there is not a problem! The pot covers the burner and the handle is not in direct line of heat source. Also you will be cranking the handle while its over the flame. Mine works great nothing has fallen apart!!
