This cookware is very lightweight which may or may not be a good thing, in my opinion.  The warranty info inside the box it came in cautions useing potholders to handle hot cookware.  In product info on Wayfair's web site, it states the handles are stay cool handles.  I have not used any of the cookware yet, however so I can not attest to this being correct.  I will update when I have further comments.
