Removable pan handles
Hi,
I am translating the description of a set of pans with removable handles from French to English for a retail website. The use of "bague" to describe one of the parts of the removable handle is causing me problems. It appears below to give you some context:
"Les manches des poêles sont amovibles ce qui permet d'optimiser l'espace de rangement, et aussi d'être utilisées au four jusque 250°C. (Le dispositif d'insertion du manche est serti d'une bague en acier et non en plastique)."
Would you simply describe "bague" as a "ring" in this context? I can't find it being used on English speaking websites in this context. Thanks in advance for your help :)

: "A ring or cap, typically a metal one, that strengthens the end of a handle, stick, or tube and prevents it from splitting or wearing. A metal band strengthening or forming a joint."

But why should they have to specify that it's not made of plastic? Doesn't that go without saying?
