Brilio.net - A pan is one of the cooking utensils that is often used for boiling or steaming. So that the cooking process is done quickly, many people deliberately put a lid on the pan. However, due to frequent use and exposure to hot steam, over time the pot lid will become damaged. Moreover, if the handle of the pan lid is made of plastic, it could possibly melt and come off.
If the pot lid comes off, it will definitely be a hassle and you won't be able to use it optimally. As a result you have to use a fork or chopsticks to lift it.
If the pot lid is already damaged , some people choose to throw away the pot lid. However, there are other ways to repair a loose pot lid using household materials. The method was demonstrated by YouTube user @Mas R channel. Through his upload, this netizen only relies on one type of used item to replace the handle of his pot lid.

So, the type of used goods in question is toothpaste packaging or containers. To do this, first cut the top of the packaging with scissors. Do it slowly so it's neat, OK? Then clean the remaining toothpaste. Wash the toothpaste cap first so it doesn't stick.

The next step, cut the middle again and cut it into a circle. Make sure the circle piece is the same size as the first one.
"We measure it with the top cover of the toothpaste used. We cut it into a round shape according to the mold so that it is neat," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube @Mas R channel on Friday (24/5).

Once the size is precise, don't forget to drill a hole in the middle. Then apply it directly to the lid of the pan which no longer has a handle. Insert the top of the used toothpaste packet into the pot hole. Then put the other piece on top of the hole. Hold it with your fingers so that everything is installed properly.
