Chugun (Russian: чугун, Russian pronunciation: [tɕʊˈɡun]) is a crock initially made of cast iron, hence its name: "chugun" in Russian means "cast iron".[1] It has a special shape: narrow at the bottom quickly turning into a round bowl, that permits handling of it in the Russian stove with a special implement called ukhvat, a long wooden handle ending with the two-pronged metal "grabber". Later chuguns were made of aluminium as well. This kind of ware had become widespread in Russia since the break of the 19th and 20th centuries.[2]
Standalone small stoves had special metal rings to fit bottoms of chuguns of different sizes.
-
A variety of chuguns and chugunoks are used to prepare an entire meal
-
Ukhvats of varying sizes, fire iron, and chapelnik (to handle pans)
