Are the handles riveted or soldered?

Just checked mine. 36 quart purchased July 2015. The handles are indeed welded, but the lid is flat, not domed as show in the photo.

Mine are riveted - bought June 2011. I've lifted, moved, and poured using the handles with ~8 gallons several times with no issues.

They are soldered. Very good quality, only regret I can say I have is I should of got the 15 gallon (60 Quart) as now I am doing double batches. 5 out of 5.

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.

I have two rivets per handle and have never had a problem. This is now a few years old and still works great.

They are welded. They are very sturdy. We are well-pleased with our purchase of 6.

I am not sure (I will try to post pictures showing the way the handle is attached), I can see two rivet-like fasteners; they do not show though, the surface both inside and outside are completely smooth.

They are stamped not forged with POM triple rivet handles and are sturdy. Forged sets are available at a much higher price.

Welded, but mine have been durable. I think they're well worth the low price.

Hi Deanna , No the handles aren't cast iron but are mild steel which is better. cheers Dave

The handles are made from a decent quality silicone. Provide excellent grip and do not get hot. It is riveted although it does not go all the way through to the inside.

I decorated these and gave them away, but I believe they were soldered. I'll try and find out.

Yes. The handles are in brackets, which are riveted to the pot with four rivets in each bracket.

Yes, if I can remember correctly they are. I bought this door for a client of mine and the handles were made out of the same metal as the door.

There are 2 rivets on the inside of the pot for each handle (4 total) and there are 2 rivets on the underside of the lid for the lid handle.

Mine were nicely soldered, not crimped. All read zero on the ohmmeter with no intermittent indications.

If you can't see rivets on the inside, it is welded. From the picture they look like indentions that were spot welded

The handles are I think polished aluminum with rubber on the underside for grip.They stay cool to the touch.

Yes the handles are spot welded and we have yet to have any trouble, whatsoever, of them coming off. This wok is made for us in SF, wooden handles are from Maine and we literally sell hundreds a month, of this one wok.
