    Also confirming that’s a philips. It’s rounded out from damage, but enough of the + is still left that you should be able to remove it.

    Make sure you use a screwdriver that fits it cleanly without wiggling in the slot. Otherwise, the head might get damaged more.

      I mean nothing fits it cleanly but it was already loose and I was not as worried unscrewing as tightening so I got it out. Ugh. trip to hardware store today. thats some bs though. need to remember to look for things like this when I buy it but I bet I won’t on the next fry pan as I will forget.

        If nothing fits it cleanly, it’s possible you don’t have the right screwdriver. There are a LOT of different sizes, but you probably knew that.

        And yeah, some pans have screwed handles, others have riveted handles, still others have welded handles. And there are probably more kinds I don’t know about. They all have their pros and cons, and you’re directly dealing with one of the cons of screws. 🫠
