Are the handles heat free and cool to the handing

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.

Yes, for the most part, as other responders have noted. I'm a careful cook, though, so out of habit I usually use potholders anyway! I really like this set and am glad I bought it.

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.
1739724
Yes they were cool except for when I used it in the oven and then I had to use pot holders.

As long as the handles are off to the side they don't get unreasonably hot. They do get a little warm but nothing that requires oven mitts.

No they are not hot. I really enjoy the pots and pans. They are so easy to keep clean!

I bought these as a gift but I do not think the handles are heat resistant.

Yes! I bought this set as a present for my daughter and family and was very disappointed at how hot the handles got.

Amazingly, they don't get hot at all. It's always a good idea to use potholders, but a brief hold on these handles will not be hot.

Yes, the handle stays cool when cooking, i.e. boiling water. Hope this helps!

They will get warm, especially if you are simmering something on the stove for a length of time such as soup. However, I don't recall the handles/lid being hot enough that I needed a pot holder to grab them.

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.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

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 they have handles. The whole thing is pretty low quality though. I wouldn't recommend.

Hi Deanna , No the handles aren't cast iron but are mild steel which is better. cheers Dave

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

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

The handles stay cool on the stovetop. The lid handle does get hot on high heat but not at lower temps.

Yes they are heat resistant and no need for pot holders. The handles have a rubber like coating so makes them easy to grip and yer fish fryin' easy!!
