Thank you for the great rating and feedback, Meese. The dual-riveted cast stainless steel handles are designed to stay cool and comfortable while you're cooking. But metal handles will get hot in the oven or cooking in extremely high heat for a long time. We recommend using potholders when removing the lids, pots and pans.
