What is a "cauldron"?
A cauldron is a large, heavy pot or kettle, typically made of cast iron or other sturdy materials, with a rounded bottom and a wide opening. Historically, cauldrons were used for cooking over an open fire, but today they are primarily used for decorative or ceremonial purposes, such as Halloween decorations or theatrical productions. In folklore and mythology, cauldrons are often associated with magic, potions, and witches, and are sometimes depicted as having mystical properties or powers.
Examples
