    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.

      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.

        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
