A device for mutually fastening at least two portions of a cooking vessel grip; the portions to be fastened have a continuous seat for the insertion of a fastening element having opposite end heads, which cooperate with and on which rest respective annular stop surfaces formed at opposite ends of the seat to secure the grip portions to one another; the fastening element is defined by two plugs, respective end portions of which are inserted concentrically by a predetermined length one inside the other, and are connected to each other with a predetermined amount of radial interference; and the end portions of the plugs have been welded to each other, e.g. by means of an ultrasonic welding process, after the plugs are inserted inside the seat, so that the plugs define a monolithic fastening element.
