Our cookware features dual-riveted cast stainless steel handles specifically designed to remain cool and comfortable during cooking. However, it’s important to note that metal handles can become hot due to its nature when exposed to high oven temperatures or prolonged cooking. To ensure your safety, we highly recommend using potholders or oven mitts when handling the lids, pots, and pans to protect yourself from the heat.
