Unless you’re a professional cook, you may be confused as to why most pots and pans have a hole at the end of the handle You may not have even noticed that the hole is there. There are actually two good reasons why pots and pans have this hole. First, it makes it easy to hang them up on hooks when they’re drying or not in use. This is often seen in professional kitchens or house that have a lot of space.
Another trick that experienced chefs like to use is using that hole to hold a utensil. For example, if you have a stirring spoon, you don’t just want to leave it in the pot or set it on the counter. But with the hole at the end of the handle, you can slide the utensil in there so it just sits up and drips back into the pot. Try it out next time you want to impress people with your cooking skills.
