Cookware Handles

Cooking pot handles are handles commonly found on cooking pots, frying pans, and other sauce pans. The handle is mainly made of Bakelite, a kind of plastic developed in the early 20th century. Bakelite is known for its heat resistance and durability, making it a popular choice for cookware handles.

One of the advantages of Bakelite pot handles is heat resistance. Bakelite can withstand high temperatures, which means it can be used in the oven or on the stove top without melting or warping. This makes it ideal for cooking dishes that require high heat, such as searing meat or frying food. However, it can not be in the oven exceed 180 degree centigrade for long time.

Another advantage of pot&pan handles is their durability. Bakelite is a very strong and durable material that can withstand a lot of wear and tear. This means that Bakelite pot handles won’t break or get damaged easily, even with regular use. This durability is especially important in kitchens where utensils are frequently used and abused.

Bakelite pan handles also provide a comfortable grip. The material is slightly soft to the touch and easy to grip, even when the handle is hot. This makes it easier to control pans or pots and reduces the risk of accidents in the kitchen.

In addition to these functional advantages, Bakelite pan handles also have aesthetic advantages. The material can be molded into a variety of shapes and colors, which means manufacturers can create handles to match the style of their cookware. This can give a set of pots and pans a more cohesive and stylish look.
