Maybe someone out there has a fix for this problem. Any suggestions/ideas are appreciated. The more idiot-proof the idea the better.
Mrs. Slydude has a stainless steel skillet with a handle that is starting to crack. The skillet has a short metal extension and the handle is finished off with two pieces of plastic/bakelite or such held in place with a couple of screws. The fix is obvious but I can't seem to find the right part.
I've Googled this numerous times and can't find the right match. This skillet is a few decades old and the screw holes that attach the handle to the skillet are on the top of the skillet. All of the replacement handles I can find are either:
1, Designed with the screw holes on the side of the pan, These handles have a seem right in the top of the handle and I'm a little reluctant to try drilling holes there for fear it cracks the new handle. I also don;t think I have a counter sink bit to get the screws flush mounted.
2. Some of the replacement handles have a metal end on one end of the handle that I don't think will attach well to the metal extension already on the body of the skillet.
Thoughts/suggestions?
