The handle of the WMF Profi frying pan (20 cm, stainless steel) gets hot when cooking as it is made of stainless steel and does not have special cool-touch technology.

WMF pans, such as the Profi frying pan, are generally made from one piece, apart from the handle. There is no indication that they have a double base that could absorb water into a gap. The pans are made of Cromargan stainless steel, which is known for its robustness and dimensional stability.
