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.

Production Process of Cookware handles
Production process: Raw material - Preparation- Molding- Demolding- Trimming- packing.
Raw Material:The material is Phenolic resin. It Is a synthetic plastic, colorless or yellow brown transparent solid, because it is used more frequently on electrical equipment, also commonly known as Bakelite.
Preparation: Bakelite is a thermo setting plastic formed from phenol and formaldehyde. Phenol is mixed with catalysts such as formaldehyde and hydrochloride acid to form a liquid mixture.
Molding: Pour the Bakelite mixture into a mold in the shape of a kitchen handle. The mold is then heated and pressurized to cure the Bakelite mixture and form the handle.
Demoulding: Remove the cured Bakelite handle from the mold.
Trimming: trim off excess material, the handle usually with mat sanded look. No need other work on the surface.
Packing: Our handles of each layer are arranged neatly one by one. No scratches and no breaks.

Test of handles
Cookware is a necessity in our daily life. With the development of science and technology and the progress of human beings, people have higher and higher requirements for the use of cookware.The Bakelite pan handle is one of the most important parts of cooker. The durability of the handle directly affects the service life of cooker and the safety factor of the process of using cooker or cooker.
Bakelite long handle bending testing machine is to test the limit force of the pot handle by applying force to the pot handle. Most of the testing companies, such as SGS, TUV Rein, Intertek, they can test the long handle of the cooker. Now around the world, how do you verify that bakelite stems meet safety standards, that they meet industry standards? There is an answer. Most people should know EN-12983, which is a cookware standard developed and published by the European Union, including cookware handles. Here are some steps to test pot&pan handles.
Test Methods: The handle fixing system should be able to withstand the bending force of 100N, and can not make the fixing system (rivets, welding, etc.) fail. Usually we load about 10kg weight at the end of the handle, keep it for about half an hour, and observe whether the handle will bend or break.
Standard: If the handle is only bent, rather than broken, it is passed. If broken, it's a failure.
We can ensure that our cookware handles pass the test and follow the test standards.
Another test was to examine the performance of Metallic cookware handles. Test the handle for mildew, smoothness, and burrs. These factors are also important for quality of metal pan handles.
