  • Publication number: 20070228056
    Abstract: A cookware handle includes a metal insert and a cured phenolic overmold molded over the insert. The metal insert may be shaped to prevent movement of the overmold with respect to the insert, and may include a screw boss for attaching the handle to a cookware vessel. The overmold is molded over the insert into the shape of a handle. The overmold may encapsulate the insert, and may define a hole aligned with the screw boss to receive a screw that extends through the screw boss and into the cookware vessel. The present invention also includes a method for manufacturing a cookware handle, including the steps of a) providing a metal insert having an attachment portion; b) overmolding a phenolic molding material over the insert, the overmold shaped in the form of a cookware handle; and c) attaching the overmold and insert to a cookware vessel with the attachment portion of the insert.
