yeah it came out no prob I just did not feel comfortable tightening it with a philips and initially thought it was maybe some special head the way things are designed nowadays. I guess I should feel lucky its a philips.
I’m not sure regular Loctite would hold up well to the heat and dishwasher cycles a pan is subjected to. OP might want to either look into a specialized version (there’s actually a bunch of different kinds) or using something like a lock washer.
Actually, I went ahead and checked: apparently Loctite 263 (“red Loctite”) is the one for high temperature resistance.
Its worth knowing that I think general wisdom is to not use red loctite if you wanna be able to take it back apart again, I believe red loctite is generally considered essentially permanent
You should be able to find a replacement screw, assuming you can get this one out.

If you do replace it, some loctite on the threads would be worthwhile

oh thanks. you know it had a lock washer but apparently that was not good enough. I swear we have not been treating it roughly. its a ceramic pan.

Ill read the lables when I go out today to get it. may just skip it. won’t be so bad with a good head if it gets loose in future.
oh yeah. thanks. I was not thinking about that but it sounds like a prudent thing to do.
