Can you bind a broken handle on a pot lid? If so, what kind of glue should I use?
I broke the handle of a lid pot. It is part of a whole and for all my pots to perfection. I do not want to buy a new system just to replace a lid. I wonder if I can hit again together. I am concerned about the high temperatures associated with cooking. This pot lid covers my frying pan and a large pot and gets a lot of use. Thank you!
A large number of queues that work but I wouldnt do it. Temperature changes could cause the tail to make it a bad time. Try contacting the manufacturer to see if they can give you a replacement.
