Cooking / Culinary / cookware | | French term or phrase: "manche" vs. "anse" | I'm translating test results, etc. concerning cookware.
The texts mention a "casserole à manche amovible" which I've translated as "saucepan with removable handle" but I've just come across this:
"vérification de l'isolement thermique du manche ou des anses"
Is it that a "manche" is a long handle (like on a frying pan) and "anse" is the type of handle that comes in pairs? |
| | | yes | Explanation:
yes... manche would be just the regular handle and des anses the handles that come in pairs. |

I found a similar document in English which mentions "long handle" and "double handles" - I'll use these in a few sentences where I have to make a distinction.
