Do the handles get hot?

Warm, I would say - it depends on what you are cooking - how high the temp - how long the time. I don't have to use potholders often with it, but sometimes....

No, they don't! And they are comfortable handles too. The small stock pot handles do get warm but I think that's true for any brand.

The lid handles do get hot, and you will need pot holders to lift the lids. You do not need pot holders for the long handles. That is the only drawback to these pans, I love them otherwise!

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

Yes! I bought this set as a present for my daughter and family and was very disappointed at how hot the handles got.

No, I haven't noticed any heat coming from the handles. Hope that helps. So far this has been a great product!

The handles on the lids do get hot. The long handles are hot near the pan but cool at the far ends. When holding the long handles the pans can feel heavy and can be difficult to hold with one hand.

The handles can become hot. If just heating up something they are fine. But if something takes a while to cook I do need to use a pot holder

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

Have had these pots for about 6 months and use them frequently. Handles on lids tend to get hot but we just use a hot pad so not a big deal. The handles on the pans themselves don't get very hot at all.

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

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!

They seem not to get hot. The heat is concentrated in the flat bottom of the wok. I normally move the wok to the table after I have cooked the food. I don't have to use a pot holder. I always stir fry in 2 TSP of oil. I can't say what would happen if I had boiled a wok-full of water. In that case, the handles could get hot.WAL

No, the handles do not get hot on the saucepans and the saute frying pans. But, the short handles on the dutch oven do get hot. But, I've never used a dutch oven whose handles didn't get hot.

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