Metal handles stockpots
prices on 507 models— metal in this case means steel or aluminium; cast iron has its own specifics and is indicated separately. The metal of the handles usually corresponds to the metal from which the utensil itself is made (see "Material"); the exception is cast iron pans with steel handles for weight reduction and added strength. Anyway, metal handles are durable, reliable and resistant to high temperatures. Their main disadvantage is their high thermal conductivity: when cooking, the handles heat up to almost the same temperature as the pan itself, and you will need a mitt or potholder to hold it safely.
