Abstract:
1. A steam-cooking cauldron for cooking food, comprising: a main body comprised of shaped and fired clay, wherein a bottom wall of said main body is thicker than a sidewall of said main body, such that a thickness of the sidewall decreases moving in a direction from the bottom to the top of the main body, thereby allowing heat to be constantly transmitted to an internal space of the main body; a mouth provided on a top of the main body, wherein the inner wall reduces a total area of said mouth, thereby preventing heat from being dissipated to an exterior of said cauldron, wherein a plurality of perforations is provided on a lower portion of the inner wall of the main body, wherein said perforations are positioned and configured to allow overflowing water to flow back into the internal space of the main body when water overflows over a top of the inner wall during a cooking operation;
