Traditional rounded cookware for rice and stews

This catalog focuses on the caldero, a specific style of Dutch oven known for its rounded sides and flat bottom. These pots are standard in Hispanic and Caribbean kitchens for making large batches of rice, beans, and braised meats. The shape encourages even heat distribution and allows for the development of 'pegao' or crispy rice at the bottom.

The listings here feature various materials including cast aluminum and ceramic-coated options. Unlike heavy cast iron, these aluminum pots heat up quickly and are easier to handle when full. You will find sizes ranging from small individual serving pots to massive 13-quart vessels for family gatherings.

Sizes and material options in this set

When browsing these listings, look at the quart capacity and the lid type. Some models use traditional tight-fitting aluminum lids to trap steam for rice, while others feature tempered glass lids so you can monitor the cooking process without losing heat.

Choosing the right pot for your kitchen

Select a pot based on your stove type and serving needs. The cast aluminum versions from brands like IMUSA and Alpine Cuisine are lightweight but durable enough for high-heat frying and long simmering. If you prefer oven use, check the specific temperature ratings for the ceramic-coated models, as some are designed to move from the stovetop to the oven.
