Keeping a bolt tight in a hot frying pan

That's the problem. Lovely non-stick frying pan, but the handle
loosens frequently. Wife got a replacement for the stove, but wants
to keep this one for baking. So, removed the handle.
It was not as I thought, a problem from a steel machine screw
going into an aluminum pan. There is a steel bracket that the screw
threads into.
And there is a split washer on the screw, but it seems to be to
have gotten flattened. While the pan doesn't get really hot, it does,
apparently, get hot enough to remove any temper in that split washer.
So, my question, does anyone know if there are split washers or
the like, made for a "high" temperature environment? This is right
now purely for information. Unless she buys another pan, it is of
purely intellectual interest.

tightening handles on cooking pots :-)

You need a "star" lockwasher instead of a "split" lockwasher and a
slightly deformed thread helps too - NOT deformed at "the tip" but
about 3 threads from "tight"

A good conical spring washer works good too - it is the change in
temperature and differential expoansion that allows them to back off.
The "belleville" type I believe they call them, is a "pretensioning
spring".

The bolts through this Zytel nylon bracket kept loosening until I drilled
and safety wired their heads.

The wire is just loosely bent so it doesn't shake out, not twisted together,
and it's kept the pump and motor bolts tight for over 20 yrs.

wasn't there a discussion recently here about how split washers really don't do anything? And John B. is right: tightening pot handles is part of being married.

Generally speaking a internal ar double star washer was the washer of
