I just got rid of an iron whose handle got so hot to the touch that I had to wear gloves. Does this handle overheat too?

The handle has never overheated but it does not turn off when not in use it just clicks and turns on periodically. I can hear it and one time it was steaming and spitting water. It has totally ruined my new ironing board cover.

I don't know. I returned this iron for a refund. I found the owner's manual very hard to comprehend. Sorry I can't help.

Yes, the handle black part always gets super hot. I have been using this product for over 5 years and i love it. Just be careful w handle. I usually take little breaks in between so it wont get too hot.

No, the handle is cool to the touch. I think it's made out of bakelite. Kind of like a sauce pan. But it's always a good idea to wear a pair of leather utility gloves when working around molten metal. But you don't need any special type of high heat gloves. Hope that helps!

Yes, the helper handle on the front lip (the short handle) gets too hot to touch very quickly. The long handle (opposite side) doesn't heat up as quickly. Still, when I've got mine on the burner (four times a week), I do NOT touch any handles--top, helper or main--without a buffer (mitt or towel). I learned the hard way.

Yes, the handle got warm, not hot, when I boiled water in the skillet to check for heat. However, it was in the normal range. With the usual care in cooking I feel there is no danger. This is the Best Non -Stick Cookware I have ever used. I gave this as a gift as I am very proud to own it myself. Thank you

Depends, I only used it for a laptop with no problem but an iron would be different. just feel how hot it is , if in doubt.

It's hard to be exact about this, but if you replace the iron in the base each time you reposition the item you are ironing, the iron stays plenty hot. On a rare occasion, I'll wait a few extra second if I want to be sure the iron is super hot. Small price to pay for ironing cordlessly!

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.

not the grip really. With long periods of use it does get hot but it is a radient heat from the tip. the grip and handle stay cool as in they will not burn you but the hand you are holding it will get warm.- I hope that helps.

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.

I don't know the temperature...it has lines, and I go on the highest, my daughter uses somewhere in the middle. All I know is that if you attempt to touch it even for a second, you will definitely get burned...it's untouchable. I love this iron, I think it works very well. I have 4 of them because I like to keep them in different houses (my parents, my daughter, and 2 in my house). I've had all of them for several years, and have never had a problem with any of them, and I use the ones in my house daily.

I have a whole set of cast iron pans, and they work wonderfully. With the gloves on, I held the handle of a heavy cast iron pan with one hand and placed my other hand on the bottom to steady it all the way across the kitchen from the stove to the sink: absolutely no sensation of heat whatsoever. Incredibly amazing. I am not afraid to handle my cast iron with the gloves whatsoever. I hope this helps!

if it's new out of the box and the handle won't stay up then return it. I haven't had any issues with my handle but I took a class from a well known instructor that recommends this iron because it gets hot compared to many other irons. The instructor mentioned that the handle wasn't designed really well and it can get to where it won't stay up at least all the way. She mentioned that she had taken a eraser from the end of a pencil and pushed it in to make the handle stay up. This may not help you but it's all I know about the iron except I really like mine.

Not in my experience. The pan and handle are big enough that the heat dissipates before getting to the handle.

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

The iron was a gift so I don't use it but I think there's an off on dial under the handle.Hope this helped!

My handle routinely gets too hot to touch. The insulating handle material (neoprene-like) has changed since I first purchased this model, some years ago. (The old model never became too hot to touch.) My new, 2015 model will get too hot, requiring a pot holder. If I position the pot VERY carefully, and adjust the flame precisely, this problem will not occur.
