I have been using Farberware for years and depend on its quality and lasting performance. My recent purchase of a 6 quart stockpot with lid was a disappointment due to the metal handles being so HOT I have to use pot holders to lift it. My other cookware has  padded handles and I never gave a thought to the new Faberware stockpot not having padded handles. I gave the rating a 3 only due to the stockpot NOT having handles. Is there any way you can remedy this situation?
