Hello folks, I have this old metal casserole stand and one of its handles broke off (images on link). It holds a 9 inch diameter casserole. The metal part is about 3/16 - 1/4 inch diameter. The material is possibly iron, (or maybe steel?) (magnets stick to it).
I would like to repair it, but I am not very knowledgeable of metal work, The goal is that it becomes usable again with the casserole (and food inside!) so I am looking into a sturdy and durable fix. What would be the best way to fix it? epoxy? soldiering? any recommended technique?
Thanks a lot in advance for any information or advice you can share!
Cheers!



There is also the option for gas welding. I’ve never done in myself but I have a shop near me that I pass by everyday and based on what I’ve seen them work on, i would go there if I needed something like you need in this case. i think you can get diy kits for jewellery work if you want to indeed DIY.
Thanks, that’s great information!
