Do you saw them off,use a cutting torch? I want to do it right the first time. Thanks

When I cut mine off I securely clamped the pan so it does not move and then I used a fine metal blade in my sawzall. It worked great.Everyday is Saturday and tomorrow is always Sunday.

Retired Railroader is correct. You can saw them off with a hack saw/power saws-all or use a cutting wheel on a Matabo type grinder. You will be wasting your time with a cutting tourch, it would be a total mess.

Cast iron can only be sawed or ground off. Cutting torches won't work and probably will result in the item cracking in half.

practice makes perfect!

Hey RRP…That must been a VERY interestingly looking pan :P....With all those handles!
But now that you have the raw goods, perhaps you could do some sort of a “metal-art” project. It looks to me that you could do a “daisy wheel” wall hanging thing! A real tribute to the Egg. -
LOL - actually I did notice a musical ring to them and wired them into a crude wind chime. When I showed Pat my creation on the way out to hang it in a tree the look she shot me was "don't you dare!" I thought it was funny myself! :PRe-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I just gnaw mine off like a pit bull in a fit of rage.
Seriously though, a hacksaw works well, or even a jigsaw, or angle grinder, or any cutting tool equipped with the proper blade/accessory. -
WIND CHIMES…Great idea! I love it.
My wife (from before she was my wife) has a set of chimes that are made of a “manipulated” fork and spoons….It’s really cool and sounds very nice. I’ll see if I can link / post a picture. -
Thanks for all the replies.
