These are large, heavy pots with lids, made of good heat-absorbing and -retaining material, such as enamelled cast iron, earthenware (unglazed ones absorb heat more easily) and ovenproof porcelain (with unglazed base). The lids should fit snugly, to keep in moisture, and the pots should have sturdy handles.
