suitable material for replacement handle for a turner

I have a slotted turner (cookery) with a thin stainless steel blade, which I really like, but the handle is made of a plastic that bubbles and swells if you rest it on the side of the pan (or get it too close to the flame or similar). I?d like to replace the handle, but that requires a material that: * is D-I-Y workable * has low thermal conductivity * resists exposure to high temperatures * is dishwasher proof any suggestions? Wood (and don't dishwash the one item)? -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Yup. You probably want a cold cast resin of some sort. Oven cured. Being a bit of a hand worker I'd use car body filler to make a lumpenhandel and then file it down to whatever shape is acceptable. Then a pigmented coat of polyester over the to and polish to a nice finish. Unfortunately the brief research I did suggest that temps over 100C might be the end of polyester resins so epoxy rears its ugly head. Possibly your easiest route to one of those with a suitable pignented filler in might well be Milliput. As with all epoxies, mix exatlyly identical quantities really throughly and stove the final thing in an oven at around the 100°C-120°C mark for much faster setting and much harder result. Milliput can be sanded and polished once set for a pro finish. -- To ban Christmas, simply give turkeys the vote. |

Tufnol, PTFE Neither of these will withstand particularly high temperatures and when overheated produce some nasty fumes. 250degC is about the start of the degradation temperature pf PTFE, at 350degC it starts to decompose and releases fumes which cause polymer fume fever in humans and are lethal to birds. Tufnol has a range of temperature maximums depending on the grade but most have an upper limit of 120 to 140 deg C. Leaving the turner on the side of the pan on a gas cooker as the OP does will expose the handle to temperatures higher than 250deg. |

Leaving the turner on the side of the pan on a gas cooker as the OP does will expose the handle to temperatures higher than 250deg. I'm sort of assuming the OP is not deliberately putting it straight into the flame. Both of these materials will do better than typical thermoplastics and will tolerate dishwashers better than wood. To meet your objections you could cast a handle using RTV silicone rubber, but that would be a bit more work. |

What did you search for? slotted stainless turner Works much better in ebay, amazon and aliexpress include come silicone ones, ebay doesnt. Seems like there are a lot of different terms for a fish slice. Yeah, I have bought some relatively recently myself and had a considerable problem until I realised that the keyword turner works best. The others arent so unique and I had forgotten the term fish slice although I certainly recognise it. |
