For cooking are important handle for dishes. High-quality and convenient handles will help in the preparation of even the most complex dishes. At the same time, inconvenient handles with weak attachment only interfere with the culinary process. Therefore, when buying pots, the side handles of which can break, it is worth paying attention to these elements of the dishes. Nowadays, pens for pans are made from a great variety of materials. Consider the most common options.
One piece with dishes
In the recent past it was decided to make handles directly with the body. Currently, such dishes are becoming less and less. It 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 pans or pots 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, let's say, pies right in the pan, putting it in the oven without fear, you can not worry about the mounting failure, because it is not there, dirt will not clog anywhere, and there is more than enough reliability in such structures.
True, if you bake something in the oven right in the pan, you will have to use tack.
Removable pens
Such designs are much more convenient and interesting. Go through the pros and cons. Let's start with the pros:
- This device allows you to most conveniently take and install instruments;
- washing will be much more convenient and simple;
- to store such dishes at times more practical, since the removable handle will save a lot of space;
- You can take a griddle warmed from the oven or a gas / electric stove without fear.
Now discuss the cons.
- Unreliability Such a device is far from being the most reliable - the mount can break at any time.
- Variety of choices. Many will say that the diversity in the options can not cause damage, but in fact, the wider the choice, the more products unverified by real people, it means that you can buy "a cat in a bag." Therefore, you should choose the products of well-known companies - for them and more reviews, and, most likely, the quality will be at the height, because each major manufacturer values its reputation.
- Materials There are types of pens made of plastic, and if they are not removed, they can melt from high temperatures, and not only will you lose the handle, but also fill the room with a very unpleasant smell. That is why it should be wise to approach the choice of material removable handle.
- The need to constantly flush the device itself and its mount for the reason that over time it becomes clogged with dust and dirt. The result is that the handle ceases to fit snugly to the pot.
- Impractical design some types of fixings. There are various fasteners, both reliable and not so, but the methods of fastening are also different. Fasteners can be screws, clasps and many other technologies. Therefore, you must choose the most convenient mount for you.
Bakelite
Not so long ago, in 1909, a talented scientist invented bakelite material. Immediately this material was sold in many applications. Bakelite has many beneficial properties. It freely maintains temperature to 150 degrees without any damages.
In general, bakelite can be heated to 300 degrees, but in this state it will begin to char, remaining intact. The substance itself during manufacture is not the safest, but after the production process it becomes absolutely harmless.
This type of plastic is very actively used for the manufacture of kitchen utensils, it is light and relatively durable.
Pen options
In addition to the above, alternatives can be considered.
- Stainless steel handles are no doubt very common. But they have enough flaws. One of them is unreliable fastenings, and the second - they can get very hot and easily break. But you can buy a few spare handles, fastened with rivets.
- Another way to get rid of discomfort - silicone lining. With their help, you no longer have to burn your hands, instead, the silicone will heat up.
- A quite cheap pen, for example, ordered from AliExpress, can serve as lid handles. Find it will not be a problem, there is always a lot of feedback, value for money at a decent level.
