Does the handle get too hot to handle when water first boils?

Hi, I usually use kitchen mitts. So I made hot wanter in the kettle, to be able to answer your question.No. To my surprise, you do not needs miitens. It does not get too hot to handle, as long as it contains water.

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

No, the handle is never hot. There are two steam escape holes on the lid. These should be positioned to allow the steam to escape to the side. The handle is also made from a plastic that does not appear to conduct heat.

Short answer: Yes.Long answer: Yes, like pretty much any stovetop kettle. It depends on the amount of water and how you're heating it: small amount of water and/or electric stove, probably not; large amount of water and/or gas stove, likely too hot. We found it's usually borderline hot, but we use a gas stove and generally fill it full, so we always assume that it will be too hot too handle and have a potholder handy.

No, the handle does not get got. But the teapot itself will get as hot as the water in it.

This has happened to me, I completely shattered the top because it was too hot and I let go of it while pouring. You must hold the lid and the handle. I have to use a towel etc to grab the handle sometimes. I like this tea kettle regardless though.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

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!

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.

Yes, the handle gets hot - however, it comes with a heat resistant potholder that you slide over the handle after it boils. This works very well and alleviates the problem. FYI - I am sending mine back to Chantal itself as the spout broke.

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

Yes. No matter what I have cooked on the cooktop the handle has never gotten hot. However, once I left the handle turned and it was over a recently shut off burner and it did get warm, not hot. But I would imagine left for a prolonged period it would have gotten hot enough to burn.

I have not had these issues. If the boiling water overflows, perhaps fill kettle 3/4 full. The handle for me has never been hot. As for the top nob, I treat it with caution, ie...do not touch till the kettle water is no longer boiling.

The handle is also made of cast iron. I have not had it get too hot to touch, if that is what you are wondering.

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

I have never had a problem with that handles getting hot, I was cooking potatoes and some water bobbled out on the handle and Made it warm. I use these with induction cooking, they are great pan. They are well made and highly recommended

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

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.

No, the pan does not get too hot to handle. I use mine on an almost daily basis and am perfectly happy with it! I hope you enjoy using your pan.

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.
