stewpan

Pot for simmering

A stewpan is a deep cooking pot with a long handle and a lid, used for stewing, braising, or making sauces.

It resembles a saucepan but typically has straighter sides and greater depth, suited for slow cooking: She set the stewpan on low heat and let the beef simmer for hours.
