( דּוּד , Dud, so called from Boiling),'A large Pot for cooking purposes ( 1 Samuel 2:14; elsewhere rendered "pot,"  Psalms 81:6;  Job 41:20; "caldron,"  2 Chronicles 35:13). The same term in the original also signifies " basket" ( 2 Kings 10:7;  Jeremiah 24:2; probably  Psalms 86:6). From the passage in  1 Samuel 2:13-14, it is evident that the kettle was employed for the purpose of preparing the peace-offerings, as it is said ( 1 Samuel 2:14), "All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself." In the various processes of cookery represented on the monuments of Egypt, we frequently see large bronze pots placed over a fire in a similar manner. (See Flesh-Pot).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ket´'l  : In English Versions of the Bible only in   1 Samuel 2:14 for dūdh , "a vessel for cooking." The same word in  2 Chronicles 35:13 is rendered "caldrons," and in   Job 41:20 (Hebrew 12), "pot."   Psalm 81:6 (Hebrew 7) (the King James Version "pots") belongs rather to another signification of the word (the Revised Version (British and American) "basket," for carrying clay or bricks).
