A handle assembly for a cooking utensil that secures and holds a lid on the utensil so that any liquid contents of the utensil may be easily, safely, and expeditiously poured from the utensil. The handle assembly comprises a handle body and a lever. The handle body is attached to the utensil at one end and has an opposite outer end that may be grasped by a user. The lever, which has a grip end and a clamp end, is rotatably or pivotably secured in an opening in the handle body. When the outer end of the handle body and the grip end of the lever are simultaneously grasped, the clamp end of the lever comes into contact with the lid of the utensil and holds the lid on the utensil while the contents of the utensil are poured out of the utensil through a spout formed in an upper edge of the utensil. When the lever of the handle assembly is not in use, the grip end of the lever is spaced apart from the outer end of the handle body, and the clamp end of the lever is spaced apart from both the upper edge of the utensil and any lid that may be on the utensil. In this orientation, the outer ends of the handle body may be used to lift or move the utensil.
