stew pot

Slow-cooking container

A stew pot is a large, deep cooking vessel designed for slow-cooking stews, soups, and braised dishes.

The term applies to various heavy-bottomed pots—Dutch ovens, stockpots, or dedicated stewing vessels—that distribute heat evenly for long simmering: She left the stew pot on low all afternoon.
