The Handle Just Broke Off My Brand New Cast Iron Skillet – What Now?
A cast iron skillet is supposed to be one of the most durable kitchen tools, built to last for generations. But what if your brand-new skillet breaks before you even get the chance to use it? If the handle just snapped off your new cast iron skillet, here’s what you need to know and what you can do about it.
Why Did the Handle Break?
A properly made cast iron skillet should not break easily. However, there are a few reasons why your skillet’s handle might have failed:
Manufacturing Defect – Low-quality or poorly cast iron can develop weak points, leading to breakage.
Brittle Iron – If the iron wasn’t properly seasoned, cooled, or processed, it may be more fragile.
Shipping Damage – A hard drop or impact during transport could have caused micro-cracks that led to breakage.
