A metal container used to hold burning coals or charcoal, typically used for heating or cooking in Spanish and Latin American cultures.
From Spanish 'brasero,' derived from 'brasa' meaning 'ember' or 'hot coal,' which comes from Latin 'brasa.' The word entered English through Spanish colonial influences.
Braseros are still central to how millions cook in Latin America, making them one of the oldest continuously-used cooking technologies—predating ovens by centuries.
