They are white and soft enough that I could cut/nick them with my
thumbnail. They are a close end tube slid over the metal handles, and
slid off with some slight effort, but they also help keep the two strips
of metal forming the handle together, along with one small bolt.

Except for the handle material, I'd fully expect this to go into an
oven. I don't recall is the other versions I've seen in other second
hand stores were oven proof. 

One small detail, the two handles angle slightly away from each other
when this thing is closed, touching at the rim and about 1" apart at the
ends of the handles. There's actually enough flex to press the handles
together.
