Our exclusive stainless steel spring wire handle clips (PAT PEND.) allow for the automatic function of holding the lid down when the handle is in the up position (the same function as the original plastic clips) or, they can be manually snapped over the handle to lock it in the up position to keep it away from the heat without locking the lid down allowing the lid to be taken on and off freely while the handle remains cool to the touch. This position also allows for burn free, easy pouring. What makes this Billy Pot unique is its internal dish that allows you to steam or cook inside the main pot itself. You can also use the dish to eat out of after cooking. The Zebra Billy Pot is made of durable 18-10 stainless steel that will resist corroding, provide years of use and still look great. The positive locking handle keeps everything in place during transport.
