Hello folks, I have this old metal casserole stand and one of its handles broke off (images on link). It holds a 9 inch diameter casserole. The metal part is about 3/16 - 1/4 inch diameter. The material is possibly iron, (or maybe steel?) (magnets stick to it).

I would like to repair it, but I am not very knowledgeable of metal work, The goal is that it becomes usable again with the casserole (and food inside!) so I am looking into a sturdy and durable fix. What would be the best way to fix it? epoxy? soldiering? any recommended technique?

Thanks a lot in advance for any information or advice you can share!

Cheers!
