stockpot
Large cooking vessel
A stockpot is a large, deep pot used for making stock, soup, or broth.
The tall sides and generous capacity allow bones, vegetables, and aromatics to simmer for hours in plenty of liquid.
Stockpots are kitchen workhorses—useful for boiling pasta, cooking corn, or preparing large batches of anything: She kept a stockpot going on the back burner all winter.
