A handle retention mechanism for a generally u-shaped handle ( 18 ) attached to a vessel ( 10 ) is formed by a hinge pin ( 42 ) connected to each of the handle ends, wherein each pin ( 42 ) is received in a bracket ( 34 ) mounted to the vessel ( 10 ) in a manner that allows each pin ( 34 ) to be retained in a first position in the bracket permitting rotation, and a second position in the bracket ( 34 ) prohibiting rotation, wherein a spring ( 54 ) biases the handle ( 18 ) into the second position and is designed for one-handed actuation to the first position for rotation.
