Casserole?
Soddinā great high-sided skillet with a handle either side?
Bluddy gurt big skillet avec handles at either side About 30" diameter
Gus dear I have a casserole thing that has granite non stick over cast aluminum that swallows 4lbs of meat and assorted veg for a rich meal cooked in the range on slow
I have my motherās Utility Stock-Pot, with a two-gallon capacity; for many, many years it was used all winter every winter to make the stock for Lovely Nourishing Soup, occasionally being emptied of all the bones that had been added over a few weeks so those could be buried under the rose-bushes because roses like bone-meal.
I donāt think I knew what an Oxo cube was until I had left home.
Proper soup needs bones - marrow bones for first choice or an old boiler hen
Pigsā feets are for jelly for porky pies
I use my 25 litre ham pot for soups
I wasnāt kicking off a batterie de cuisine arms race, or at least that wasnāt my intention. I cook my stew in a whacking great metonym.

Pan wars has broken out
Stock Pot yes, used every week as a child, & then the pressure cooker rather took over.
Neither Bisto nor Oxo were used at home.
Soups, gravies & sauces were made from scratch.
My Motherās only concession was to sometimes use cornflour & arrowroot rather than the Roux /Beurre Manie methods, as they took a long time for the flour to cook out.
Pressure cooker used at least once per week, as I did here until the 50 year old one gave up the ghost.
Slow Cooker is also used every week, particularly in winter, for stock or long - cooked casseroles.
Have an Wok, but have never bothered with an Paella, as no-one ate it, & the pan was both too big to store, & too big to go over a heat source on the hob.

Paella is used on the BBQ I just have pans from when I had my wee cafe that are too good to throw away
So I wasnāt trying pan wars
My portion sizes are farmer sized too
Of course you donāt throw them out, Twellsy.
I have a stainless steel fish kettle wot hardly gets used, but it does mini puddings, should I be mad enuff to make any, as well as cook fish.
It was Ā£3-50 from a Charity shop, & hadnāt been used.
