Does the handle get hot?
525265
My handle does not get hot while using it to cook bacon. It might get hot if the flame/electric grill is set on too high a setting but I don't ever use my stove that hot. Mine will get hot if left in front of the oven vent as the heat from the oven goes directly on to the handle and you will have to use a potholder to move it. The only reason it gets hot in that position is because after washing the flat iron, I put it in the middle of my range (near the oven vent area) as a decorative item. Since it is iron and looks nice on my stove, I learned the hard way not to leave it there while my oven is in use. My handle does not get hot while using it to cook bacon.

I have not used on the grill, such as a BBQ, I bought it because my son likes pressed sandwiches but he does not like the panini presses, so I make it on a flat pan on the stove, I had been using a brick wrapped in foil, but this works much better and no, the handle does not get hot.

During normal use as a grill press, I've never felt the handle get warmer than lukewarm.

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

Yes, the handle stays cool when cooking, i.e. boiling water. Hope this helps!

yes it does get quite hot....i usually have to grab a potholder to hold onto it so it won't burn my hand

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

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

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

No, the handles do not get hot when you cook on the stove, only when you put it in the oven.

No, the handle does not get warm or hot. Plus this lid fits every pot and pan I own cleans up so well in dishwasher, it looks like new. Don't hesitate, buy it, you won't be sorry.

The handle does not get very hot, however the lever thats attached to the lid gets very hot and has to be handled with care to avoid getting burned.

The handle does get hot but not as hot as plastic. You would need a mitt. We keep ours on our wood stove. On the cook stove, it doesn't get as hot.

The handle does get hot, though I would not say too hot. I also find that opening it toward the outer edges versus the center is a help. I've noticed no problems with the side shelves; however, the side walls of the grill do generate a good deal of heat, so again common sense caution suggests handing trays, etc. from the outer edges of the shelves. The quality of the grill and the cooking temperatures it generates more than offset any minor inconvenience.

Yes, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

It does not. I wanted that feature too considering my children would be using this oven. Since I've had the oven, we have been burned a couple times so we are very aware of the door getting hot. The handle remains cool. I purchased one of those little oven mitts that look like a duck bill, that seems to do the trick with smaller tween-sized hands.

Yes, the handle gets really hot. You have to grab it with a pot holder or dish towel which gets a little awkward considering the size of the pan. I do love the pan. The small size makes for some very cute eggs. I have plans to crochet up something to slip over the handle tightly to solve this issue.

yes, the handle gets a little hot when you have it in for a long time, but just be careful when removing it. I heat it in the microwave every so often.

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.
