Making life a little easier in the kitchen, Oh Crab is a pot whose handles become crab-like legs. Chefs need never be caught without a pot stand again.

There are some things that always seem difficult to find when you need them. A pot stand is one of them. Most people don’t think to look for their pot stand before they cook, later finding themselves with a hot pot in their hands and nowhere to place it. They’ll invariably use
something easy to find, like a book, as their pot stand – a situation that is far from ideal. Oh Crab is a pot that takes its design inspiration from the crab. It incorporates handles that also function as a pot stand, and it has a knob on its lid that also functions as a kitchen timer. The
knob resembles an hourglass. Oh Crab aims to make cooking and serving more enjoyable and convenient.
