Having bought multiple cooking utensils in the past few years, I don't
recall seeing one in a box that said "kettle". From what I can gather, that
is pretty much an archaic term, and only used in a context such as tea
kettle; however, the latter is just as often called a tea pot. If I look
around in a store, they will have things called sauce pans (nothing to do
with a pan), stock pots, and Dutch ovens (nothing to do with an oven).
A "Dutch Oven" is a cast iron pot with a heavy cover made you use in
an open campfire. You can use it as an oven to bake bread over a bed of
hot coals. It can also pe used to cook soup, stew or Chili while away
from a conventional kitchen.
