Any pan that distributes the heat evenly I have very good results with Le Creuset type cast-iron casseroles. Rice has a tendency to stick and burn in the corner of pans between bottom and side so look for a pan with a nice round profile here. The pan chosen should be wide rather than deep and should have a lid. Any pan can be used to heat the stock.
