Abstract: A cooking pan includes a handle made up of a tubular stainless steel insert and upper and lower wires. The upper wire wraps around the insert and is welded at each end to the pan body. The lower wire is welded at one end to the pan body and at the other end to the insert. The wires provide three struts connecting the insert and the pan body, and are formed of a configuration and material adapted to minimize heat transfer to the insert. In this way an all-metal handle is provided which does not heat excessively in use. Preferably the insert is inclined upwardly towards the pan at an angle of 25.degree. to increase the comfort of the user.
