Does the handle get hot?

No. The handle stays cool enough. Usually not cooking at very high temperature with this non stick grill pan.

No, it doesn't. I've used it several times and have had no problems with it.

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.

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.

Handle nor handle on lid get hot. Lid may get warm but generally not overly so.In my opinion, Cuisinart really thought this product through.

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.

The handle did not get hot. I have a glass top stove. I do keep the handle outside the heating circle. Hope this helps.

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

The handle does not get noticeably hot (I pour steaming, but not boiling water into mine). The base certainly does get hot. I keep mine on a ceramic tea saucer for that very reason.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.

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.

No, the handle does not get hot. I have used this pan now for many months daily, the best pan I ever purchased. The interior is still perfect, even when exposed to fairly high heat. Can wholeheartedly recommend this product.

No it absolutely does not get hot!I boiled water in it and it even boiled over without heating up lid handle.

I agree with Isabella. While it does get warm, provided you keep the handle straight up it does not get too hot to pick up if you don't use a potholder. I also use mine on a cast iron wood stove and have never had a problem.

Yes it does. It would be nice if the handle was a different material so it wouldn't. Usually I just take it off really fast or use a hot pad.

Not at all. The handle stays cool no matter what. This thing is awesome. My only regret is not getting a bigger one.

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