If the handle of a frying pan is a "mango" what is an "asa"?

Dennywells is right. El asa is found on a tea pot or anything else that has a round or oval handle.

Mango is a straight handle.

Manija can also be a straight handle or that for opening/closing drawers, doors, etc. Manija can also be a synonym of palanquilla.

A mango as far as I understand is a long asa jeje.
