Chugun (Russian: чугун, Russian pronunciation: [tɕʊˈɡun]; small one: chugunok (Russian: чугунок, Russian pronunciation: [t͡ɕʊɡʊˈnok])) is a crock initially made of cast iron, hence its name: "chugun" in Russian means "cast iron". 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".
