An improved handle of a pot is proposed which can be turned to its inoperative position over the pot to occupy less space during storage or transit. In use, the handle is locked in its operative position. It has a handle body (3) and a metal fitting (4) secured to the pot (1). The handle body has a tubular portion extending downwardly and the metal fitting has a tubular portion extending upwardly to receive the tubular portion of the handle body so that the handle body can be turned with respect to the metal fitting and thus to the pot within a limited angle.
