Furniture / Household Appliances / Removable pan handles
French term or phrase: Bague
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 :)
