kazan

Borrowed from Russian каза́н (kazán), from a Turkic language. Cognate with Azerbaijani qazan, Kazakh қазан (qazan), Turkish kazan, Uzbek qozon.

kazan (plural kazans)

1. a cauldron or cooking pot used in Central Asian cuisine
   • 1990, Anya Von Bremzen, John Welchman, Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook:

     A proper kazan also has to be well greased by constant use — it should never be washed with water, or, God forbid, actually scrubbed and scoured. The Uzbeks just wipe it carefully with an oiled cloth; and they will insist and I will second this — that the older the kazan, the better the pilaf.

From Ottoman Turkish قزان (qazan).
