iron pot

Heavy metal vessel

An iron pot is a cooking vessel made of cast iron, prized for even heat distribution and durability.

Iron pots retain heat well and can move from stovetop to oven, making them versatile for braising, stewing, and baking: She made the soup in her grandmother's iron pot.

With proper seasoning, they develop a natural nonstick surface that improves over generations of use.
