Dutch-oven

Lidded iron cookware

A Dutch oven is a heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, typically made of cast iron, used for braising, stewing, and baking.

The thick walls distribute heat evenly for slow cooking: She made a pot roast in her Dutch oven.

In crude humor, a Dutch oven is trapping someone under bedcovers after passing gas.
