All About Pot Handles

Handles for dishes are of great importance for cooking. High-quality and comfortable handles will help you prepare even the most difficult dishes. At the same time, uncomfortable handles with poor fastening only interfere with the culinary process. Therefore, when buying pots, the side handles of which may break, pay attention to these elements of the dishes. Nowadays, pot handles are made from a great variety of materials. Let's consider the most common options.

In the recent past it was customary to make handles directly together with the body... Nowadays, such dishes are becoming less and less. This is understandable, because this technology requires the use of strong materials, which, in turn, have a large mass. And as you know, a large mass of a frying pan or saucepan will indirectly counteract the process of cooking and especially washing by hand.

But there are also pluses. For example, this design significantly increases the number of possible use cases... You can bake, for example, pies right in a frying pan, putting it in the oven without fear, you don't have to worry about the breakage of the fastener, because there is no fastener, dirt will not clog anywhere, and such structures have more than enough reliability.

Such designs are much more convenient and interesting. Let's go through the pros and cons. Let's start with the pros:

• this device makes it most convenient to take and put devices;
• washing will be much more convenient and simple;
• storing such dishes is many times more practical, since the removable handle will save a lot of space;
• you can take a frying pan preheated from an oven or a gas / electric stove without fear.

• Insecurity. Such a device is far from the most reliable - the mount may break at any time.
• Variety of choice. Many will say that variety in options cannot be harmful, but in fact, the wider the choice, the more products untested by real people, which means that you can buy a pig in a poke. Therefore, you should choose products from well-known companies - there are more reviews on them, and, most likely, the quality will be at its best, because every major manufacturer values ​​its reputation.
• Materials. There are types of handles made of plastic, and if they are not removed, they can melt from high temperatures, and not only will you lose the handle, you will also fill the room with a very unpleasant smell. That is why you should choose the material of the removable handle wisely.
• The need to constantly wash the device itself and its attachment for the reason that over time it becomes clogged with dust and dirt. As a result, the handle ceases to fit snugly against the dishes.
• Impractical design some types of mounts. There are various mounts, both reliable and not very reliable, but the mounting methods are also different. Fasteners can be screws, fasteners, and many other technologies. Therefore, you must choose the most convenient mount specifically for you.

Not long ago, in 1909, a talented scientist invented the material Bakelite. Immediately, this material was sold to many areas of application. Bakelite has many beneficial properties. It can withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees freely without any damage.

In general, Bakelite can be heated up to 300 degrees, but in this state it will begin to char, remaining intact. The substance itself is not the safest during manufacture, but after the production process it becomes absolutely harmless.

In addition to the above, alternative options can be considered.

• Stainless steel handles are no doubt very common. But they have enough flaws. One of them is unreliable fasteners, and the second is that they can get very hot and break easily. But you can buy a few spare handles with rivets.
• Another way to get rid of discomfort is with silicone pads. With their help, you no longer have to burn your hands; instead, the silicone will heat up.
• A quite cheap pen, ordered, for example, from Aliexpress, can serve as handles for the lids. Finding it will not be a problem, there are always a lot of reviews, the price-quality ratio is at a decent level.
