The handle does not heat up as expected!

I recently purchased the 12" pan from TEChef and I needed the lid to go with it. It fits perfectly on the pan along with any other 12" pots or pans I have! It is well made and the handle is securely attached. I feel it will last a long time!

I have used to to cover the sauce pan while making spaghetti sauce and I expected the handle to be hot when I lifted it and amazingly it was not at all.

I received this item at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

Cheap handle will not support weight of the pot when it is full.  This is a scalding accident waiting to happen.

ordered as a gift and pretty embrassed when friend opened box with a ziploc bag of broken handle pieces.  This is my 4th pot purchasing and i have never had problems.  This pot also could not get hot enough to saute onions.  Very dissappoined.

Very disappointed the handle is very hard to pull up when I don't have it on or a shirt I van pull up the arm although it's very hard when I have a shirt in it I cannot pull up the handle in order to get the shirt out, I have to turn the machine off and than it takes two of us to try and open it.  I had a heat press several years ago and never had this problem, I am actually afraid to use it because I might not get it open, I feel I wasted my money on this machine because probably won't be able to do a shirt and take the chance of it being stuck in the machine

As my headline states, the handle has separated.  I am going to try to reattach it with some gorilla glue, but I'm not sure it will work since there is heat involved.  I bought mine from Walmart.  I can still use it for dipping, so it's not a total loss, but disappointing nevertheless.

I thought this electric knife would be the same quality as other Cuisinart items I have. However, this one was a disappointment. Besides the handle being uncomfortable, the major reason for return is that the knife handle got quite hot after the first use. It was being used to cut thru a very moist brined turkey breast and not much pressure was needed. We have since replaced the Cuisinart with a Black & Decker 700 Slim Line and are very pleased with it. Not to mention, the price was way less for a better knife.

The first one they sent me did not have the handle attached. I informed them via email through amazon and the sent me another one quickly with no fight.

Mine sits on a cooktop fireplace insert. It heats fine, handles fine (with the handle) and the porcelain lining makes cleaning easy and tea smell reduced. If it runs dry the built up mineral residue starts to smell, so don't leave it on dry.

Pouring was fine with tad of momentum (wrist flourish?) to pour without spilling. Some teapots with short spouts require it, some don't.

Great non stick pan however you will burn the crap out of yourself with the handle!  Needs a protective handle!!!!!!

I have not been able to use this skillet yet because the handle was off when I received it. Hope I can fix it.

I am not happy with this purchase.  The handle gets too hot to pick up and I need a mitten to do do.  Inconvenient.  Do NOT recommend.

I notice a lot of people are saying the handles don't slide up like the picture. I warmed mine up in boiling water and got them slide to up where they are supposed to fit. Hope this helps.

Great design and color but the handle gets hot along with the spout and I cannot handle the kettle without having to use a potholder.  On top of that, there is no way to open the kettle spout, to pour the hot water out, without burning your fingers!  Very disappointed in the functionability of this tea kettle!  I have an older tea kettle that works way better than this one!  Beware!  It looks great on the stove but not  good as a tea kettle.

My wife ordered this handle to use on All-clad skillets (which is our best purchase for the kitchen). She used skillet in the oven and then put the handle on it and after it was cooking at 450F and It felt too hot to hold it in bare hands for more then 10 seconds. But she needed it mostly to leave it on after skillet is out of stove so we won't burn ourselves by grabbing it.

I am not really impressed with the tea kettle. Of course, I wasn't expecting a high quality one when I bought it. The lid came off during shipping and scratched it. No big deal, I don't run a show kitchen, but it is unfortunate. It works to boil water, which is good, but the handle gets pretty hot and I have to use a hot pad to pour it. Other than that, it works as expected.

Definitely gets hot on stove. Have to put on and remove which is not the purpose of this and the handle cover together. I am not impressed.

This product did not protect against heat.  I was cooking with it on my stove and could not pick it up using just this handle.  It fit my 12 inch Lodge cast iron perfectly, but felt as if I was grabbing it directly :(
