Re: cauldrons
I have never had a gas stove that didn't give me satisfactory precision, at least equal to that of an electric stove. And the gas stove's clear superiority is in a gas flame's having almost no thermal inertia, whereas the coils of an electric stove stay hot for minutes rather than seconds. I'd also note that it's possible to lift a pot above a gas flame and still get reduced heat, but if you lift it off electric coils the heat flow is all but cut off.

Re: cauldrons
The problem I have with my induction cook top is I have yet to find a decent wok that works on it.
(Also that the buttons on the cook top are far too sensitive to water, but that's just bad design, not an inherent flaw in the technology.) |

In any case, I'm not moved by expert opinion. I've used both gas and electric stoves and my experience with gas has been more satisfactory. I have explained at least one of my reasons above, so I won't go on about it further.

That said gas is not available in my neighborhood, so we have induction which is far superior to electric coils to cook on. I still prefer gas. |

I admit my ignorance about if you would need to temper the copper cauldron as part of the process. Also, no where (I may have missed it) did item quality get factored in.

Regardless, you start with a thick ingot and work it into the shape you want. This is fundamentally different from our approach in the age of rolling mills, where we start with a thin sheet.

Re: cauldrons
Sean is right but I never meant to imply that cauldrons were made by armourers. I meant that they used the same tools and and techniques. Any culture that has one-piece iron helmets will also have one-piece iron cauldrons. And one-piece iron helmets have been around since the Roman period.
