Food safe high temperature plastic adhesive wanted.
 

The handle to the lid of our steamer has broken off. The contact area is
a narrow rim along a 12cm by 8cm oval. It is made out of plastic.

Does anyone have any pointers on what sort of adhesive would be
appropriate? It needs to withstand high temperatures (up to 100 degrees
Celsius) and should be non-toxic (food safe). You should be able get it
wet and stick it into the dishwater too.

Removing the lid with no handle on it tends to lead to scalding... :(

Thanks in advance,
Rem

They`re usually less than =A320 - i`d be tempted to ditch it and just get=

another... After all, steam burns can be horribly painful...

I had to have my hand in a bowl of water for 3 days after getting one a=20
while ago - 2-3 seconds out of the water and i`d be in agony again.

Is it a tefal by any chance?

Indeed it is. A Tefal 1000cl three tier Steam Cuisine turbo diffusion,
it is the easy store variety. Do you have the same problem?

I have found one 3 tier one for 19.99. Worth considering. But it should
be so easy to fix...

Ouch. :(

Sure do!

Hmm, have you already replaced the green trays because the catches have
broken and don't locate properly?

The catches break, we can live with that. Eventually each try breaks in
half - we are onto our second steamer for this reason (although the old
one has been passed on and is still in use). Our new trays are still
intact, but I can see the cracks starting to appear.

With the last steamer I did actually try gluing the trays... another
reason to find some glue that works. The useless handle makes good spare
reinforcing material for this, but I need the glue. :(

I am reading that correctly - do you know how to get spares?

Go to a Car Accessory shop (probably NOT Halfords) and ask for JB Weld. Good
to 600 deg C. Its a 2part epoxy (similar to Araldite) which is non-toxic
when cured.

I think you may mean F, though even that seems high.

My mistake - I was working from (a failing) memory ;) As it states here

This looks exactly like what I need. I have purchased some and it looks
like excellent glue to know about and have handy. Thanks! :)

Halfords does sell JB Weld - at least they do in Sevenoaks!

Interesting. We were given one of these dreadful space
wasting-inventions. I thought I must be using it wrong as it shed
various little bits of green plastic each time I used it (i.e. when the
giver visited us). Glad to know that I'm not alone!
