Thread: Zebra billy cans?

    Has anyone used these?

    I deffinately haven't heard a bad review of them. I'm kind of wanting the get the 14cm (64oz) size rather than the 100oz size on that site. It will probably rarely be used to cook for any more than 2 people, so I'm cautious to get the 16cm one you see on that site. Its the ONLY one they carry though, the only other US site I have found them on is way more expensive.

    I have tried to buy them, and find the supply to be low to non-existent.

    They are made in Thailand.

    I have several of the covered 24 oz cups, and cannot find more.

    The quality of these products is first rate. For stainless steel, the price is not to bad, either. If you can find them, buy them and then call me. I have gone directly to the importer and still have been unable to purchase.

    Check out bensbackwoods. I just ordered two cans from them, and although I haven't received them yet, I have done business with them before with good results. The price was pretty good too. As it's my first post here, no I am in no way associated with them.

    That NW woodsman site I plugged has them but they only have the 16 cm one, they sell it for $25. Bens backwoods has all the different sizes but they are about $5 or so more and shipping is kinda steep.

    I ordered some other items with it also from them and when the total is at least $100 an option popped up for free shipping. If you are looking to buy some other things they carry that might be worthwhile.

    Had a look over here and found this site

    They seem to have the full Zebra range and ship overseas.

    I'm not sure of the exchange rate, so it might not be worth doing it, but I'll keep looking if you like.

    Hey Winnie. Maybe you could work out a trade. A Zebra pot for a Pressure Canner.

    Looks like a usable piece of cook ware.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    You may be able to find one of these at one of your local ethnic foods market. The Asian food market I frequent, carries them.
