Bogrács

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bogrács

The bogrács (Hungarian: [ˈboɡraːt͡ʃ] ) is an outside fire cooking pot made of metal. It is suspended from a chain over a campfire.[1] Its distinctive shape and diagonal handle distinguish it from similar cookware. The bogrács was commonly used by the serfs.[2] Its spread can be traced back to the nomadic equestrian cultures, with the cauldron. The ancestor to the bogrács was brought to the Carpathian Basin by the first Hungarians.[2] There are many types of bogrács used, made with different sizes, materials and uses.[3] The word 'bogrács' comes from the word 'bakraç' - an Ottoman-Turkish word meaning 'copper bucket'.[4][5]
