What Are Boiling Pots Called?
Boiling pots are commonly called stockpots. These large pots are designed for cooking large quantities of soups, stews, chili, and other dishes that require long simmering times. They are typically made of stainless steel or aluminum and have a tight-fitting lid to keep heat and moisture locked in. The size of a stockpot can range from 6 quarts to over 20 quarts and is measured by its total capacity.
