Do the handles get hot?

No, they don't, not even on dishes prepared on the highest temperatures. That's one of the features that is important to me.

They are not silicone so yes, they do as with any other stainless steel cookware. But, this is a great set!

If I simmer something for a couple of hours, the handle on the lid of the dutch oven starts to get a bit hot. Handles on the saucepans do not get hot.

If the handles are rubber coated then they will not get hot. But, please do not wash the Calphalon in water directly from stove. Metal will warp. Wait until metal is cool. Then wash.

They certainly get warm like any cookware, but they don't get as hot as the rest of the pot. My mom's stainless steel cookware doesn't have the insulated handles like the Calphalon Simply line and her handles get too hot to comfortably handle. These do not.

As for the comment about pan handles heating easily, that only happens when you put a small pot on a large burner , otherwise if pot is placed on right size burner there is no direct heat ca using handles to get hot.

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

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.

For the most part the handles stay cool. I have noticed the handles get hot near the pan when the pan is heated to a high temperature.

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

Only the handles on the large pot get hot because they are attached parallel to the pot and are smaller. The long handles on the medium and small pots and the pans do not get hot.

No, the handles do not get hot; so you can easily move the wok to your serving area while the food is still cooking.

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.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!

If by that you mean, do they stay cool when in use ... no -- they get hot. That is the only thing that I would criticize about the pans though. Other than that, they are great.

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

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!
