What does CRUSET mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicaltechnical
A small crucible, especially one used by a goldsmith or metalworker to melt metal at very high heat.
A cruset was made of fireproof clay or ceramic material so it could hold molten metal without cracking, letting a goldsmith melt down scrap silver or gold before recasting it into new jewelry or coins. The word is closely related to crucible and cruse, all tracing back to the same idea of a small, sturdy pot meant to withstand heat or hold liquid. Today the term survives mainly in historical accounts of metalworking and in specialist glossaries of older crafts rather than in modern workshop vocabulary.
