Pans with metal handles.Do they burn your hand.

I am wishing to buy a new set of saucepans. I have noticed that a lot of very nice and expensive saucepans have metal handles. See this link for example:

Instead of going with the designer’s contractor we opted to do the remodel ourselves. What the hell, we’re young and foolish. There are delays, windows come […]
