Abstract
A pot includes a hollow body and a lid detachably mounted on the hollow body to cover the open end. There is at least one first magnet annularly embedded in the peripheral edge defining the open end of the hollow body. Two second magnets are diametrically embedded in a bottom face of the lid. When only one second magnet is attracted by the at least one first magnet, the lid is able to move relative to the hollow body to allow the lid to be inclined relative to the hollow body. When both second magnets are attracted by the at least one first magnet, the lid is retained relative to the hollow body so as to close the communication between the open end and the outlet.

In a pot having a hollow body with an open end and an outlet defined in a peripheral edge defining the open end to communicate with the open end and a lid detachably mounted on the hollow body to cover the open end, wherein the improvements comprise:
- at least one first magnet adapted to be annularly embedded in the peripheral edge defining the open end of the hollow body;
- and
- two second magnets diametrically embedded in a bottom face of the lid, wherein when only one second magnet is attracted by the at least one first magnet, the lid is able to move relative to the hollow body to allow the lid to be inclined relative to the hollow body and when both second magnets are attracted by the at least one first magnet, the lid is retained relative to the hollow body so as to close the communication between the open end and the outlet.
