Our Handle Design

Essteele cookware is designed and made in Milan, Italy, to exacting standards. We have a range of handles designed to enhance ergonomic properties and provide a beautiful aesthetic

  • Silicone and stainless steel handles. Our stainless steel and silicone handles are designed with a comfort grip and help keep handles cool during cooking. Please ensure that handles are not over other burners as they can heat up and discolour.
  • Stainless steel handles. Our stainless steel handles are designed with a hollow core to keep them cooler during the cooking process. Occasionally, you may find a small amount of water enters the handle during dishwasher use. While we do recommend hand washing for all our cookware, please take care to remove any water that may have entered the handle prior to putting your cookware away.
  • Ergonomic phenolic handles. Our handles are designed with a comfort grip and help keep handles cool during cooking. Please ensure that handles are not over other burners as they can heat up and discolour or become brittle.

Position cookware so that handles are not over other hot burners and do not allow handles to extend beyond the edge of the cooktop, as these may be in easy reach of children or enable the cookware to be knocked off the cooktop. While all our handles are designed to stay cool, please always use oven mitts when cookware is placed in the oven and check the temperature of handles, especially lids and shorter handles, before picking up cookware.

Do not use cookware if the handle is loose. If any handle does become loose, please immediately contact our customer service team.
