Usage Note
Schmortopf refers to a heavy-lidded pot used for slow braising on the stovetop or in the oven. Dishes like Gulasch or Sauerbraten are typically prepared in one; the tight lid traps steam and keeps meat tender.
Examples
"Sie gab das angebratene Fleisch in den Schmortopf und ließ es zwei Stunden auf kleiner Flamme garen."
Natural Translation
She put the seared meat into the braising pot and let it cook on low heat for two hours.
Literal Translation
She gave the seared meat into the braising-pot and let it two hours on small flame cook.
