Cooking Pots
During the early medieval period pottery cooking vessels were
used. By the 14th century pottery had been replaced by metal - in
particular bronze, an alloy of tin and copper. These pots were
widely used in the 16th to 18th centuries. The most common shape
was a cauldron, with three legs and an angular handle at either
side of the neck. These pots were hung from a chain over the fire,
or stood directly in the flames. The same design of pot, made from
cast iron, was in general use up until 150 years ago.
