It the loose rivets can be peened with a small hammer on a metal object such as a shop vise they can be tightened.

I suppose you could tie a long string around the handle and drop it in. Or drill a hole in the handle and use a chain. But personally would call the company, they are very responsive and may have some better ideas. They seem to be very consumer oriented and are always looking to improve their products.

Are you talking about the long handle or the short, cross-wise handle? If your long handle is loose, twist the ring that you would hang it from, at the end of the handle, clockwise to tighten it. Mine was loose as well. You might have to stick something through the ring to get enough leverage, unless you're an Amazon!

I sorry but I don't know where you would be able to get a handle. Maybe find a basket at a Yard Sale and just change it out. I also would like to find a place to purchase an extra oil catcher. One for fish and the other for deep frying other things. Like donuts and such. Seems like the company T-Fal would have all the extra parts and/or replacement parts for the consumer. As far as I know they don't. For the price you would think that they would. Love the fryer though. Sorry I couldn't help you.

You are correct. The handles are made of metal and will heat up as the wok warms up. I find myself not needing to use the handles while cooking since the wok never moves due to the weight. Still going on strong in our house :)

You should call the company to get one. I broke my handle (by dropping) they sent me a new one right away.

I guess I don't know. There's only one place to screw in the handle. sorry I can't help more.

You have to loosen the knobs on the side, put the handle in the position you want it then tighten the knobs. Hope that helps.

I don't know as I gave it as a gift but I imagine so. I have a similar wok and always have to use hot pads on the handles. That has never been a problem.

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?

Just remove the only screw on the side the handle and pull apart. Hope this helps.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

The black handle is attached with 2 rivets, and does not appear to designed to be removed. I can't remember what the instructions said about putting it in the oven if that's why you're asking. Many of these phenolic handles are oven-safe up to a point. But woks aren't normally put to that kind of use. The handle does not heat up at all even if the wok is heated empty over high heat for several minutes.

The molded plastic handle is in 2 pieces (halves) secured with screws. It would be possible to detach the handle. The hollow metal tube might have a sharp edge.

When you assembled the unit, you screwed on the handle in a clockwise direction, if I remember correctly. You should be able to disassemble it by unscrewing the handle.

I have a gas stove. So I don't even bother using the ring; I just hold onto the wok handle with my left hand and stirfry with my right hand. It wobbles, but I've never had any problem with it. The wok just sits on top of my stove all the time; I don't even store it away.

Turn it upside dow and place your foot into the handle. push down really hard on the blade and you should here a snap and then it will be sturdier. This should solve the problem. Feel free to contact me again if you still can't get it.
