The IMUSA caldero is the workhorse of any Hispanic kitchen due to its versatility and unique design. The caldero (or cauldron in English) is made of cast aluminum in Colombia with a natural finish that seasons over time. It is oven safe without the lid and features a traditional caldero design with a lid. This caldero is ideal for cooking rice, beans, braising meat, simmering stews, soups, and more. Hand wash only. Traditional design with even heat distribution.
