sauce pot

Stovetop liquid vessel

A sauce pot is a deep cooking vessel with straight sides, a flat bottom, and two handles, designed for making sauces, soups, and stocks.

Larger than a saucepan but smaller than a stockpot, it provides ample room for reduction and simmering.

In British slang, saucepot (one word) is a playful term for someone cheeky or flirtatious: You're a right saucepot, aren't you?
