Are the handles welded or riveted?

Well, I have the pot right in front of me and I'm not sure. There are some indentations around the edge of the handles that would make me think they are riveted, but the indentations don't go all the way through. The inside is completely smooth. It looks like the side handles are one piece with a base plate giving them lots of strength where they are attached. The lid handle appears to either be welded or riveted like the side handles but without the base plate.

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

Riveted.... But there are no rivets on the inside of the pot. Pot is smooth on the inside. I hope that helps.

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

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.

Like the others have stated, riveted handles that are quite sturdy, the stainless is also quite heavy, I am quite happy with this pot, when mine came the cover handle was disconnected from the spot welds but I liked the pot so much I took it to a local welding shop and had it reattached.

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

no rivets. easy to clean. the pot has a very heavy base plate that dissipates the heat real well. I don't have any problem with burning on the bottom of the pot. very happy with my purchase.

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

The handles are riveted on. The lid does have a small vent opening where the handle is attached. The small pan is 2 quarts and the large one is 3 quarts. I really like them. They're very pretty too. I got them for the induction feature. I think you'll like them too.

Coded in a rubber/plastic material. The handles are stainless steel I believe

Yes the handles are riveted to the pan. Also the handle on glass lid is riveted as well. I've had this pan for a few months and use it to cook both stove top and in oven. And it works great to serve too. I've found that I need to use pot holder on lid handle though. .. it gets very hot!

Yes they are rivited. Very strong. There are 2 rivets per side on handle (4 per side of pan).

The handle is permanently fixed to the pan by two large rivets. The polished rivet heads are inside the pan. We like the size of this pan. Heat butter. etc.Hope that helps. Would buy this again.

There are no exposed rivets or screw heads on the inside of the pot. The inside is perfectly smooth. It is very strong and sturdily made, with very nice finish, and the handles are firmly welded to the outside of the pot. I have used it several times and it is well worth the cost.

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.

there are no screws or rivets or anything inside the pot where the handles are attached. It's totally smooth inside.

The handles are stainless steel and riveted to the pans, meaning they can probably withstand more heat than the other parts of the pans can. The only drawback to the handles is that because they're 100% metal, they won't always be cool to the touch.

Not sure of the terminology but I would say that they are riveted on. There is nothing that goes all the way through to the inside. I have had this pan for over 20 years and just bought one for my daughter so every time we make sauce or soup I don't have to take my pan over her house. I love this pan. Handles on my 20 year old pan are completely secure just like it was brand new.
