are the handles welded or rivoted?

I gave this to my son and forwarded the question to him. He has a house full of company now but I'm sure he'll answer.

Yes the handles are riveted on. There are heads on the inside, however they are smooth.

The handles are spot welded to the pot. There are some black spots on the inside of the pot. The cover is also welded.

They are somewhat assembled, you just need to add the locks and handles. They are good quality and good value!

The handles are riveted, four heavy duty rivets per handle. This has been an excellent pot for my 5 gallon batches. At nine gallons, plenty of room for the wort from even 20 lbs of grain mash for a 5 gallon batch.

Rivets on inside of larger pots (24+) apparently the rivets are only holding the PLATE that the handles are welded onto, so the actual handles are NOT riveted to the pot, only plate is riveted, and handles are welded onto plate.

So sorry for the delay in answering your question they are two separate prices (the handle and the cup). They are welded or sodered together.

Yes there are rivets on the inside of the pot for the handles. I make cheeses, yogurt and soaps. I use these pots for each if my hobbies and they work wonderfully

Hey There - yes, there are two rivets on the inside where the handle is attached.

They are riveted. I really love these pans. They live up to their manufacturer's name. I have owned T-FAL for close to 30 years. I have had these pans for a few months, and I love the quality and performance! S. LEE

No the handles are not cast iron, but they work great. I was completely satisfied with them.

The handles are part of the drawer, sort of carved in. The drawers are very flimsy and do not hold much.the piece itself is nice.

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

Yes they are welded on. Just use a mini blow torch to take em off. Very easy to do.

The handles are riveted in with a single rivet for each joint -- you could either saw off (hack saw) the rivets or the handle itself

Yes. No rivets in the handles. I have bought 3 sets of these plus we have had our set for many years. We have never had a problem!

No, they are not. It might be they unscrew in some fashion but I have not seen a way to do so in my use of them. I have only focused on using them with the handles however, but I don't see a way to detach them just by glancing at them.
