How To Make Pot Handles Safer.
| Food And Drink : Great Food Tips Do you find that the handles on your pots, woks, and frying pans get “too hot to handle”? You can easily make them a lot safer to use by binding them with strong string or twine, which come in a variety of colours nowadays. To create a smooth, insulated handle without knots, first - tape one end of a ball of string to the end of the handle, leaving around 6” extending beyond the tip of the handle. Next, run the string up to the base of the pan, and secure it with another piece of tape. Now: looping the string back down to the tip of the handle {stick with tape again if it helps}, start to wind the string closely and tightly around it, working towards the base of the pot – you’ll find this is very fiddly on your first attempt, but it helps if the string is wet. When the whole handle is covered {and this is the clever bit!}, cut the string to leave a few inches free. Pass this through the loop which you previously taped to the base of the pot, and now pull the free end {at the handle tip} until the other end disappears under the wound section. Once it’s fully tightened, you can snip off the “tail” at the handle, and – you have a perfectly insulated handle, with no visible knots. If you find the ends are a bit too slack, secure them with a few spots of SuperGlue.
