Does it get hot enough on low that it might burn you? I'm thinking without the containers. Can you put your hand on it on low?

Yes. It depends on how long it is on. It is not burning hot on low but it is still hot but not enought that your gonna get burn.

Dear John, To be on the safe side I WOULD NOT fill the container with hot water. It's rubber and fairly soft, so I only fill it part way to protect yourself and/or others from being burned. Lee

Hi. It says to not set on a combustible surface. There is about a 5 inch gap between the bottom of the pit and the ground. I don't think it gets very hot underneath but I would probably put something on top of your table just to be safe.

I never used it that way and wouldn't recommend to do it. It's pretty thin and light and would be dangerous to handle if very hot.

I think it is. My hands aren't burning while holding it with hot liquid inside. But then I don't use it much. I keep it on the table and like to see my friends reaction to that :) Its a fun thing really!

I have used my lids many many times and never been burnt by the steam. It actually pushes the steam out sideways, so it's not coming directly up towards your hand.

We have had no problem at all with it getting hot.. as far as stable is concerned....I do recommend that you hold onto the thing when it's starts...lol. it's loud. And it WILL move about. We use ours almost everyday .. Worth it...We are really happy, we joke about the noise of it though......we use ours primarily for juicing....

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

Yes, it does get too hot on the handle. Mine didn't last very long. Too bad because if it didn't get too hot it would be a great one!

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.

You can on low heat settings and don't leave it on there. Otherwise you'll melt it.

No it does not get too hot. You can barely feel any heat from it. I like it a lot. I have been using it at night before going to bed and my sleep hasn't been as good so I am going to use it earlier in the day to see if it is from the medlight at night. I am very sensitive to things too.

No, it does not get hot to the touch. I have touched it while it was baking and did not experience any excessive heat.

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.

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

No, on a low setting, the exterior gets hot enough to burn an adult's or child's hand. Note that the instruction booklet warns that the toaster is "not intended for use by children" and cautions to "Never let the toaster operate unattended." If I had any idea that this toaster presented a burn and/or fire hazard, I would not have purchased it. These cautions should have been in the online description. I expected more from a KRUPS appliance, especially one costing $50. It's going back.
