Hob kettle where the handle doesn't get too hot to hold

I want to get a hob kettle, but many of the reviews on amazon complain about the handles being too hot to touch. I've got an induction hob, so not sure if this is just a problem with a kettle on gas? If not, does anyone have an induction-suitable kettle with a handle that won't burn me?

Induction should be fine as the heat will be under the kettle. I’ve got a gas job and my kettle is fine as long as the flame is under the kettle and not licking up the sides.

I manage not to heat the handle. DH burns himself every time.

Thanks Singlebutmarried - I will just choose the nicest kettle then. I wondered if it was steam from the hot water that made the handle hot, but this makes sense, same as saucepan handles get hot on gas if the burner's bigger than the pan.
