cauldron
Large cooking vessel
A cauldron is a large metal pot used for cooking over an open fire, typically with a rounded bottom and handles for hanging.
The word evokes medieval kitchens and witches' brews: The three witches stirred their cauldron.
Figuratively, a cauldron is any volatile situation where forces mix dangerously: a cauldron of ethnic tensions.
Also spelled caldron.
