Large Frying Pan broken handle

Cook wares outlast their handles most of the time.  Like our good large stainless steel frying pan, it would have been outright dumb to dispose of it just because of a broken handle.  Fortunately, the stub handle was long enough to do some remedy to attach something to it.


So even with an aluminum square tube, that fits exactly to the heat resistant handle stub, it was just a matter of how to fix it to the stub.  As the stub has also lost its stainless steel rivet, I replaced it with aluminum rivets to size.  Then I drilled a hole on through the aluminum tube and stub then bonding them with a single rivet.  It's been more than 10 years now and the frying pan still is in good use for us at home.
