Cooking containers are essential tools for any kitchen. A POT is a 3-letter container typically made of metal or ceramic, with a lid and handles, used for boiling, simmering, and stewing food. A STEAMER is a 7-letter container that is designed to hold food above boiling water, allowing it to cook through the steam produced by the boiling water. Both pots and steamers are commonly used in cooking, and can be used to make a variety of dishes.
