Stewpots, also known as ollas, are traditional cooking vessels used in many cultures around the world. They are typically made of clay and have a wide, round base with a narrow neck and two handles. Stewpots are used to cook stews, soups, and other dishes that require long, slow cooking. The shape of the pot helps to retain heat and moisture, making it ideal for simmering food. Stewpots are often used in outdoor cooking, as they can be placed directly over an open fire.
