Cauldrons with hanging hook

Hanging hook

— a characteristic bow that allows you to hang a vessel over the fire. This feature is rarely needed when used on conventional household stoves (most people don't need it at all), but it can come in very handy when cooking over a campfire during picnics, on the hearth in specialty restaurants, or as part of events like historical festivals. The headband can also be used as a carrying handle, which is often more convenient than using the side handles.
