Detachable Cookware Handle

It clips onto cookware with a rim between 2 mm and 5 mm thick. That covers most steel, aluminium and non-stick pots, pans, kadais, tawas and saucepans in Indian kitchens. Very thick cast iron may not fit.

It is built for everyday cookware like a pan of sabzi, a pot of dal or a kadai of curry. Clamp it onto the rim near the widest point and lift straight up. Avoid very large, fully loaded pressure cookers.

The handle is heat-resistant Bakelite, the same material used on cooker handles, so the grip stays cool while you cook. Keep the handle itself away from direct flame.

Yes. It works on any round-rimmed cookware within the 2 to 5 mm range, including kadais and woks. Clamp it onto the rim from the side and lock it before lifting.

Open the clip, place it over the rim and press to lock. To remove, press the release button and lift off. You can see it done in the videos on this page.

Wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap. Dry it before storing. Do not soak it for long or put it in a dishwasher, because that can wear the locking mechanism.
