How do the handle connects with the pan at the frying pans you know? Through a solid slip like if the part of it you hold was just inserted into the main body metal?
Cast irons are …casted iron. They are a single piece of metal, which includes the handles. If anything,the average cast iron pan is thicker where the handle meets the pan due to cast iron being brittle and heavy.
This being an example of the most popular line of cast irons, due to its quality:cost ratio.
I’ve found a photo on Google of one with a much more reasonable handle. Notice it’s not plane, and it connects to the pan making a W, with walls thinner than the pan’s. You can get even better by making the connection with a long U shape.
Cast pans have a “hole” at the base of the handle. It’s there for a reason.
The reason is hanging storage.
That one is at the end of the handle. (Or you hang your pans by the handle’s base?) The one on the base does not go all the way through the handle.
But I’m more and more aware that lots of people here never saw a properly designed pan.
I don’t think what you are describing is even available in Canada, at least as a cast iron.
I have a few steel pans with the hole you are referring to, but I have never seen it in cast iron, which is what this post is referring to.
None of the pans that cast iron enthusiasts talk about have a hole at the base either.

There is no thin-walled segment at all?

Well, yeah, I see how that will burn your hand.
