Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how kazan appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
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.
Etymology
Borrowed from Russian каза́н (kazán), from a Turkic language. Cognate with Azerbaijani qazan, Kazakh қазан (qazan), Turkish kazan, Uzbek qozon.
