Discovered: Zebra billy cans for £6.20 & £4.95

[Mallow Man]

Hey guys (& girls)

You won't believe this...I was browsing in a cookshop in Weymouth (as one does) and they have a decent stock of brand new, genuine Zebra Loop Handle Pots (ie Billy Cans) with the steamer insert for £6.20 for the 12cms and £4.95 for the 10cms. I would say that this was a bargain. They are their normal ie not sale price!

I think that there are a number of outlets of the store. They have a website: www.stockpots.co.uk (which don't list much of their stock...including the pots) but give the shop a call (or email).

tel: 01305 839 433
fax: 01305 839 433
email: weymouth@stockpots.co.uk

Amazing......

Needless to say I bought one immediately and had a big smile on my face.

Excellent find there.... I was wondering when they would hit the high street cooking departments.

Website also says they do free P&P on all UK orders. Even better!

I have emailed them and 2 12cm pots posted are £16.99.Not quite free P&P but a bargain non the less. My email was replied by Robert if anyone is interested.

 

[Mallow Man]

So that is £12.40 and then £4.59 P&P for two 12cms pots?

There obviously seems to be a difference from the store sending it than the website information - as this plainly says at the top of the page that it is free P&P hey ho. Good price any way isn't it?

[shinobi]

Here's a little more info that I've just received from the company.
10cm = £4.95
12cm = £6.20
And there is no charge for post and packing. If you want to order some of these ring their Weymouth shop on 01305 839433 and ask to speak to Mrs Clarke.
I have just ordered one of each and been given the total of £11.15
They know that word has got out about these prices cos she laughed when I asked for them. She said she has spent most of the morning packing orders for these :rolmao: and they will all be sent out in the new year

Cheers,

Martin

Lets hope they get more in stock in the New Year. I also believe that there are several other stores (see their website - in previous postings) that may have more stock.

Glad to have passed on news of a good deal!

Happy New Year everyone.

Great info, I am afraid to ask them what the shipping to oregon would be, they would think I had dropped my brain on the floor once to often!!.

Well, I received my 10cm and 12cm today and I must say that they are lovely pieces of kit. ): very well put together with very snug tolerances. (And thats coming from a sheet metal worker!!)

I have one query though. Shouldn't the steamer insert have holes in the bottom to allow steam through? Mine is just a normal bowl type.

Thanks for the Heads-up Mallow Man. Keep up the good work :biggthump

Cheers,

I got a 12cm zebra billy can before Christmas and agree about the quality... used it a few times and works a treat.

I was also a little confused about the steamer but had resigned myself to using it as a bowl and boiling the rice...

Steaming sounds a little poncy any way really. like i'll be presenting my meals like a TV chef with a nice little sprig of something on top anyway :roll:

Does the 10cm pot fit inside the 12cm for transporting?

Thanks

Hiya,

It depends. The 10cm with the bowl and lid fits inside the 12cm, but the loop handle won't fit inside. So you can't fit the 12cm bowl or lid on. If the handle was detachable, you'd be fine.

Hope that makes sense? :?: ?

Cheers,

Martin

Just ordered the last 12cm pot from weymouth. They still have 10cm ones in stock and expect to receive more deliveries during the year though maybe not straight away.

Cheers.

I cant get the 10cm to even fit in the 14cm unless I leave out the steaming tray, so I guess the answer is no.
