A beanpot is a deep, wide-bellied, short-necked vessel used to cook bean-based dishes. Beanpots are typically made of ceramic, though pots made of other materials, like cast iron, can also be found. The relatively narrow mouth of the beanpot minimizes evaporation and heat loss, while the deep, wide, thick-walled body of the pot facilitates long, slow cooking times. Beanpots are traditionally associated with New England, in particular Boston, Massachusetts. This association is evident in the nickname Beantown, and the use of the name ''beanpot'' for Boston events such as the Beanpot ice hockey tournament. Beanpots resemble the Indian ''handi'' and the Spanish, Mexican or Native American ''olla'', and may be related to the latter vessel. Unlike the German ''Römertopf'' and the Japanese ''donabe'', they are typically glazed both inside and out, and so cannot be used for clay pot cooking. ==See also== * Baked beans * Cassole * Guernsey Bean Jar * Handi * Olla * Slow cooker * Tangia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beanpot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
