Cauldron Substitution?

The old idea of using cauldrons to mix magic potions is not true!
Cauldrons were used for cooking, suspended over a fire. Cauldrons were usually too big for mixing potions,etc. My witch teacher used a small metal pot, over a Bunsen burner.
The "witch's cauldron" idea seems to have originated with Shakespeare's "Macbeth".

I don't actually use a cauldron, but if I was needing to use one I would use either a cooking pot, a pan, or a bowl. ;)

I use a brass flower pot that has three small legs in it. It was under five dollars at the thrift store.

I use just a black metal pot and engraved unique symbols of my own making. It has worked great for me and only cost a few bucks.

A pot, preferably one without a non-stick coating inside. If you are using it for burning things in, I suggest an over-sized aluminum can, such as a metal coffee can or the restaurant/family sized canned food cans you can find at your grocer.

I am using it for burning things in. Thank you to everyone who replied :)

Andlat where are you going to burn things? in your room? because I wouldn't its a huge fire hazard!

No, outside. I don't even trust candles in my room.

Alright lol

he could always burn stuff outside. :/
