French term
"manche" vs. "anse"
French to English
Other
Cooking / Culinary
cookware
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... manche would be just the regular handle and des anses the handles that come in pairs.

Comment: "Thanks all.
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."
