A rag to tilt the bottom works for me. True, not having a pour spout means a lil more care and attention are needed. I easily replaced the silly stock handle with a wire bail. I enjoy steaming wild edibles in my Zebra in a DIY stainless steel mesh basket (from a grease screen) or wet baking bannock in the included lil pan all the while boiling for tea or stew. Haven't seen many other pots those things can be as easily done in. In short, love my 12cm Zebra.
How about the GSI Glacier Tea Kettle?But why not just get a tea kettle instead? One width a big lid so you can also cook your stew or noodles or what people cook in their billy cans.
I found the epinion review here worth expanding and reading.

They say the shape is to hold a canister and its stove inside the kettle. I don't use canisters so I cannot speak to that. My Glacier has served me well for years. Boil, pan fry, etc. The opening is large enough but the bottom is bit thin for pan frying over wood. Works but my thick bottomed fry pans work much better. Lose a little volume due to spout being below lip but being able to pour easily and accurately counterbalances that. Much easier to pan fri in Glacier than Zebra. Glacier is not quite as bullet proof, not quite as packable. For me Glacier sees more use on dayhikes or single nighters. Zebra and small fry pan are more likely to be brought along on multi nighters especially when winter, canoe or car camping.
Cheers.
