Abstract
An apparatus includes a pot with a sleeve attached to an outside portion of the pot, and a utensil holder coupled to the pot. The utensil holder includes an arm disposed through the sleeve and a handle pivotally attached to the arm, such that the handle can be rotated relative to the arm to position a portion of the handle inside the pot. The utensil holder can be configured at least in a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the handle is positioned outside the pot to enable the handle to be used as a grip for the pot, and in the second configuration, the portion of the handle is positioned inside the pot to enable the handle to support an object over the pot. In some embodiments, the handle may be attached to the arm with a hinge.

An apparatus comprising:
- a pot with a sleeve attached to an outside portion of the pot;
- and
- a utensil holder coupled to the pot, wherein the utensil holder comprises:
- an arm disposed through the sleeve;
- and
- a handle pivotally attached to the arm, such that the handle can be rotated relative to the arm to position the handle, wherein the handle comprises a lower portion substantially immovable relative to the pot, and an upper portion that can be translated and rotated relative to the pot.
An apparatus comprising:
- a pot with a sleeve attached to an outside portion of the pot;
- and
- a utensil holder coupled to the pot, wherein the utensil holder comprises:
- a plurality of arms, each arm comprising a plurality of telescopic parts configured to be pulled perpendicularly outward from the outside portion of the pot to reveal a surface, wherein the surface spans an entire distance between the plurality of arms to form a recess;
- a groove with traction rails located within the each of the plurality of arms, wherein the traction rails facilitate locking the plurality of telescopic parts, and wherein the plurality of telescopic parts lock based on friction between the traction rails and a track proximate the groove.
