I have an 11" wok. I love it but the handle is ready to come off. No way to tighten it. Can it be repaired???

Unless you have a friend who is a welder, chances are it will be cheaper to replace your wok.

The handle is a bit heavy (stainless steal - which is great!) but I think if you use some strong glue or a double sided tape like "command" strength it could work. I love mine! Good luck!

Nope, the handle is just the normal plastic if you put the wok in the oven, I think the handle will melt.

This is a round bottom Wok with a ring that it sits upon. Handles are to small. Consider getting one with a larger handle. The only thing we kept was the cover.

RVGRemove the handle and take it to a Home Depot or equivalent and ask for replacement. Delta guarantee their units for life.I didn't know this and bought a part that did not fit. I took it in, they gave me a new replacement part. Try this.Al

You might need to tighten the handle somewhat on your own, when you take it out of the box. Just use a basic screwdriver. It has not been a problem for me since doing this.

I love the wok. I find the handle much easier to use than the two small side handles on my previous one. The only warning I would give is that the top edge is not rolled and I have gotten small cuts from the sharp edge when I reach for something in the nestedans and lids in my cupboard.

My handle also broke. I found a replacement broom handle at home depot that fit the threads in the broom head. it seems they're pretty standard. I brought the broom head to make sure the handle fit!

Sorry, can't help you on the unscrewing the handle for replacement but the handle on mine is aluminum so likely won't need to be.

I am not sure since I don't have this particular wok myself.. I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She seasoned it, but never said anything about being concerned about the wooden parts in doing so. Although when I did get this item I did look in the box and the handles were not attached so I am thinking you could season it before you put the handles on.

I've never had a problem with the handle coming loose however when I use it I place it on a granite countertop as it the whole unit came loose on a wooden table , never budged on the counter though. I truly love this unit works like a charm.

personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide. That said, I soak ALL my wood handled kitchen utensils in mineral oil before using them to help prevent such problems from happening. But alas, all things turn to dust eventually. When it finally becomes a problem, 20 years from now, i will deal with it :)Lastly, if i had it to do over again i would have bought a 5 or 6" spatula. This one is ok, but i miss that extra length sometimes. personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide.

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

I recommend using a pot holder or oven mitt once the wok has heated up. The handle gets hot when the wok is fully heated.

Mine unit is the older style, so the bracket that holds the wok is different. I routinely use a 14" northern style pow wok on this and have zero issues except excess heat so I use welding gloves to protect my hands. I don't know what is up with the "soot" answer but this has never occurred with my unit so I think the other user has a problem issue with the air intake or something else.

I have had this problem also.. could also be why my handle recently came off from the constant up and down. Mine never went down all the wsy just a notch or 2

Great question! I would suggest trying a small suction cup device first and see if the surface will accept and hold it. This handle locks in place, so the holding power is great. If not, the manufacturer usually lists replacement parts for an appliance for purchase. A handle is a breeze to replace and is usually held on with a screw and a tug upwards on the old handle. Good luck!
