Caldrons

/ˈkɔːldrənz/ noun

Definition

Plural of caldron; multiple large metal pots or cauldrons used for cooking or heating.

Etymology

The plural of caldron, formed by the standard English -s ending. From the same Latin root caldaria via Middle English.

Kelly Says

In large medieval kitchens, multiple caldrons would hang from a central metal framework called a 'crane,' and cooks had to coordinate using them carefully to manage heat and food simultaneously.
