Talk:Kettle (disambiguation)

What about cast iron kettles used for cooking in?
There's an article about tea kettles, but I can't find anything about the cast iron kettles they used to use for cooking stews, boiling sap, etc. A kettle is used for heating liquid; it doesn't have to be water alone, and it doesn't have to be boiling. I try looking up "cooking pot", and I find an article covering "cookware and bakeware", but with no reference to cast iron kettles..45Colt 23:22, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Kettling in a boiler
Kettling, as noted here is a crowd control tactic by police. But it's also a name for the situation where water gets trapped in the heat exchanger of a boiler (e.g. due to limescale build-up), resulting in knocking sounds as it turns into expanding steam. Equinox ◑ 07:10, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
