    I prefer to think by the 23rd century they’ve perfected material sciences so they can make a pan that doesn’t heat the handle when heating the rest of the pan.

      That’s actually a very realistic take. Nice thought

      This is usually not a material sciences issue, but a skill issue. Quit putting the handle over part of the hot burner!

      All Clad says their some of their pans don’t need them, but I don’t trust that enough to test seriously.

      It exists today.

      Cast iron works this way.

      Aluminum with riveted cast handles does too.

      And well-made stainless does too. We regularly comment how surprisingly cool the handles on our stainless cookware never gets hot, even when boiling water for 10 minutes.
