Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Hmm, I think they would rather not have to deal with that.

Any idea where else to look other than Briscoes?

Probably Warehouse, or Stevens.

Thanks for the suggestion. Still no luck :(. Starting to think they may just have to deal with a metal handle. There are a bunch of reviews for various ones on the Briscoes website and none mention the handle getting hot so I guess they will see if it happens. The ones that have only low contact via two thin connectors rather than the whole handle may be better as well. I think I'll grab one of the briscoes ones and I'm sure they will be happy.

There are pan handle covers advertised, not sure if Briscoes have them though. They simply slip on to cover the handle and protect the hand from heat.

Thanks, good to know there's a backup plan if it becomes an issue.

tfe.co.nz stock Scanpan Coppernox stainless which have rubberised handles.

Oh man, I already ordered the Briscoes one yesterday. I'm sure it will be fine.

Mitre-10 sell similar sets to Briscoes, so maybe they’ll have a set with insulated handles.

Thanks for the suggestion, I never would have thought of that! It seems the only stainless steel ones they have are the same as the Briscoes ones, so no luck 🙁
