IS the same a pot and a saucepan?

what is then a Casserole? only for the oven?

IN Spanish we say:   cacerola  - to cook stew for example  ( small size)
                               cazo. to boil  water
                               olla - to cook stew ,but bigger size and sometimes using pressure

Answer

cazo = pot = saucepan (except large sizes which are considered Dutch Ovens)
cacerola = casserole (usually glass or ceramic)
olla = dutch oven/large pot or pressure cooker

Answer

In Canada, a pot and a saucepan are the same thing.  And, you're right, a casserole would be something for the oven, though we'd typically say 'casserole dish'.
