About
The character 锅 is a phono-semantic compound with the metal radical 钅 (jīn) on the left as its semantic component and 呗 (guō) on the right as its phonetic component. Its traditional form is 鍋, using the full metal radical 金 and the traditional phonetic component 咼. The character denotes cooking vessels such as pots, pans, and cauldrons, notably the rounded wok used for stir-frying and boiling. The metal radical indicates the primary material of these utensils. Metaphorically, 锅 can also refer to a bowl-like shape, as in a satellite dish, or the act of taking blame.
