In Henrik's recent thread I mentioned the 6-quart stainless Presto I recently picked up at a thrift store. It works perfectly and attains pressure quickly, but the part of the handle that's attached to the pot is loose. The single screw that holds it in place is somewhat rusted and will not budge in either direction. I don't know the age of this cooker but unlike any of my others, it was made in China. The quality seems to be just as good as that of my made-in-USA Prestos, and I think it could be induction-friendly.
The loose handle is stabilized when the lid is locked in place so the issue isn't a show-stopper, but the looseness is kind of annoying. Could this be a result of machine washing? Any ideas for remedies?
Yet again, pix have all been rotated upon attachment. I think I'm done with Firefox, as it's begun to create problems in other ways besides just this.
