Cast iron

— handles found mainly in utensils made of the same material. The key feature of these handles is that they are often made in one piece and are an extension of the material of the pan (whereas steel or aluminium handles are attached separately — usually welded or screwed). This has a positive effect on reliability. Otherwise, cast-iron handles are completely similar to metal ones: on the one hand, they are durable and heat-resistant, on the other hand, they get very hot when used and require the use of tacks to avoid burns.
