cooking pot

Stovetop boiling container

A cooking pot is a deep, typically round container used for preparing food on a stovetop or over a fire.

Unlike shallow pans, cooking pots have high sides that make them suitable for boiling, simmering, and making soups, stews, and stocks.

They usually come with lids to retain heat and moisture.
