The handle on my frying pan comes off. Is it broken? Noooo! And why would I want a frying pan with a removable handle? Well, at first it may seem like something unimportant, but sometimes it is precisely these small details that make the difference, and in the case of frying pans with removable handles even more so. That is why all Castey handles can be removed. There are many different types of frying pans. Reasons to use pans with removable handles And here we tell you some of them, but we are sure that if you use a little imagination you will find even more reasons to do it.

Pans with removable handles take up almost no space and fit in any cupboard.

The truth is that with the price of a square meter of housing we have had to reduce space for everything and most kitchens are not exactly big. Or at least not as big as we would like. So we do everything possible to have room for all those kitchen appliances that we like so much. Use pans with removable handles saves a lot of space in the cupboard so that we don't have to give up our favourite kitchen gadgets. We can leave the pan handle in a drawer and assemble it in a moment when we want to cook.

If you remove the handle from your pans you can clean them by hand more comfortably.

Although most pans can be cleaned in the dishwasher, it is always more advisable Wash them by hand with hot water, soap and a soft sponge.. But it is also true that if we wash them by hand the handle always ends up hitting the tap or the pan does not fit in the sink. This makes rinsing it tremendously cumbersome: we end up splashing everything and getting dirty and in a bad mood. You will be surprised by the difference between cleaning a pan with a fixed handle and cleaning a pan with a removable handle. And when the handle is removed, the pan is practically like a plate and can be cleaned in a moment.

If you separate the handle you will save space in the dishwasher and you will be able to clean more things at once.

Anyway, and to be honest with ourselves, cleaning pans by hand when you have a dishwasher is a pain. So the quickest and most practical way is to put them directly in the dishwasher. But if we are not careful, the handle hits the top of the dishwasher and the pan does not fit, so we end up cleaning the pan by hand, and we do not like washing dishes when we have become accustomed to the dishwasher. And remember that you must be very careful when putting the pan in the dishwasher, because with the hustle and bustle of washing anything could damage the non-stick coating. Separate the handle from the body of the pan and forget about space problems.

With this type of handles you can put the pan in the oven

In fact, the main reason why most pans cannot be used in the oven is precisely the handle, which is made of a material that does not withstand such high temperatures. That is why most pans cannot be used in the oven. This is a major limitation, since being able to cook with your pan in the oven is really very practical. Removable handles solve this problem very well and make cooking in the oven very easy and practical.You just have to remove the handle!

However, there are some pans whose handles can be used in the oven. These are usually stainless steel handles - although we recommend that you don't take them literally and check with the manufacturer to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

And you can also remove the pan from the oven without using oven mitts.

Placing the handle on the pan is very easy and quick, or at least it is with the system we use at Castey. With our system the handle is perfectly fixed: it does not move and never comes loose. In addition, you can mount it without touching the body of the pan and to do so you will hardly have to put your hands inside the oven, so it will be very difficult for you to burn yourself, even if you decide not to use oven mitts.

Not all cake pans have a non-stick coating, which is why they are often covered with kitchen paper or greased with a little oil or butter. But sometimes this is not enough and if we are not careful we end up burning the base or the dough sticking. There is nothing more non-stick than a good coated pan and this way we can get even more out of it.
