I was looking to help someone find a generic replacement handle solution for a 90’s era Revere Ware pot, and did a search on Amazon. Much to my surprise, they were a lot of results for wooden replacement handles and knobs. I wonder what is driving the sudden foray into making replacement handles out of wood.
Granted, wood is a good insulator and some people have turned to wood to craft a bespoke replacement handle when he couldn’t find one. But still, is this a trend being driven by something else? Is there new cookware that is suddenly popular that has wooden handles and knobs? I wonder.
Hey! So I think it’s the cultural turn away from plastics. I’ve been researching replacing my revere ware handles with wood as I don’t want any possibility of chemical fumes leeching from the plastic handles if too hot.
We had one reader send us pictures of wooden replacement handles he had made, and we’ve seen the odd one on eBay. And there are quite a few wooden cookware handles sold on Amazon. So I think that is a great idea.
