Are the handles welded on securly or do they disconect after some use?

The handles are definitely welded on securely. It looks like a three spot weld. Compared to an old stainless steel set that I had, this looks much better.

I have used these measuring cups for the better part of a decade. They have been sturdy, tolerating countless dishwashings and scrubbings. I have only positive things to say about them.

They're extremely secured by welding. They've withstood over a year of use for me and we do a ton of from-scratch homestyle cooking. I dont know what I'd do without this set! They havent bent on me either. No rust and completely dishwasher safe.

They are spot welded on. Count yourself lucky if they do not break off at some point. I owned this set for a few years, and shortly after buying it one of the handles simply broke off. Good luck trying to get a replacement even if it is covered by a warranty.

The handles are coated plastic/vinyl over metal. I have only used the pots a few times, they seem to be durable.

Dawn, what type of handle problem are you asking about. I have used my set on gas, and propane and I am thinking I might have even took it camping once. They are the best thing I have ever cooked in and when I take the time to really clean them all over they look brand new. As far as the handles are considered, I have never had a problem, but I have seen some replacement handles on Ebay. Let me know if this covers it. Happy New Year

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.

there are 8 spot welds per handle...4 on eachside of the handle contacting the pot. they look like indentations in the metal. This is our second pot and they are slightly less "heavy duty" than the one we got as a present 25 years ago. Than one is still in excellent condition and we use it frequently. still is .

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.

Yes the handles are securely attached to the pan. We have used this pan many times and it is a quality product.

I've never had this problem. The handles don't come off and there's only a small little space between.

Yes, the covers come off easily, and that gives you access to the center screws. These handles are easy to install and look great.

I just went and checked mine out. The handles seem to be on there to stay. one end is welded ( or what ever) and the other the rods are curved so I can't pull them out of the basket part. So you got me?

Mine are engraved so they will not rub off but the handles don't stay on very well as they appeared to be glued. 2 of mine have already fallen off and I've had just a couple of months.

It's been a year...but I believe they are more basic stainless type handles, spot welded. This is good - the cups stay very perfectly cold, the handles are comfortable

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.

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

The handles are sealed well. What I would advise is never to put back the knife in the holster as soon as it's washed as water will seep through the holes and overtime can be unsanitary as bacteria will grow.

Yes. They are concealed. There are no exposed screws. I have upgraded to these handles in two different houses now and I love them!
