Dangit, I snapped the handle of our gooseneck kettle off one of its two fastening points this morning.
I can't fault the durability of the thing: we've had it for years and used it *a lot*, much more than I originally expected we would.
It looks like replacing it will be a bit of a chore: none of the shops nearby seem to have any stock and prices online are like 60% above MSRP. I'll try repairing it first, of course, but there isn't much surface area for glue to bind to. Fingers crossed.
@neal aw thanks! I really appreciate that note. I'll keep it in mind for if¹ my repair attempt fails.
