My pour over kettle handle came loose right before a morning brew
It happened yesterday when I was heating water. The screw holding the wooden handle to the kettle body just fell out. I had to use an oven mitt to pour, which made a mess. I found the screw on the stove top and tightened it back with a small wrench from my toolbox. Has anyone else had a kettle just decide to fall apart like that?

Oh man, that exact thing happened to my old gooseneck! The heat from boiling just works those screws loose over time. I put a tiny dab of high temp thread locker on mine and it hasn't budged since. That oven mitt move is a classic panic move, I've totally been there.

Nice save with the thread locker! I was just staring at my kettle like it betrayed me, trying to remember if I own an oven mitt that isn't crusty with old spills. That little screw is a master of hide and seek every time it pops loose.
