I had no idea this was a thing

Many people assume that the hole in the pot handle is merely for hanging the pot on a hook. While this is indeed one of its functions, it is far from the only one. Others may think it is a design flaw or an aesthetic choice, not realizing the functional benefits it provides. Some even overlook it entirely, not giving it a second thought as they focus on the more obvious features of their cookware. These misconceptions prevent people from fully utilizing the potential of their kitchen tools.
