The Cauldron (known as Stewing Pot in versions 3.49 to 4.30 to prevent confusion with vanilla Minecraft Cauldron, which in BtW 4.31 was renamed to Cistern) is an indispensable block used for mass food production and needed for many other kinds of heat-based crafting, such at tanning, alchemy and textile processing.

A Cauldron requires fire in the block directly underneath in order to function. Production rates are accelerated by the addition of more fire adjacent to the principal flame, with the maximum rate achieved with fires lit in the entire 3x3 area underneath. Netherrack or Hibachis are natural choices to provide fire, though any flame will serve in a pinch.

It should be noted that more advanced reactions like rendering into glue require the flames underneath the Cauldron to be stoked, which is only possible with Hibachis. Reactions requiring a regular flame, such as cooking, will not proceed when it is heated by a stoked flame. It should also be noted that having Hellfire Dust or any other explosive in a Cauldron over a stoked flame is not the best idea...

The Cauldron can be tipped by application of mechanical power. When tipped, all items in the Cauldron (except possibly those on the bottom row) will spill onto the block clockwise along - when facing the pot - the axle providing power to the Cauldron.
