The Self-Stirring Cauldron was an enchanted type of cauldron invented by Gaspard Shingleton in the late 20th century. These cauldrons magically stirred potions on their own. It was considered a modern invention in the evolution of cauldrons, and they were sold in cauldron shops since at least 1991.

History

"Celebrated inventor of the Self-Stirring Cauldron."

— Gaspard Shingleton's Chocolate Frog Card

Gaspard Shingleton, the inventor.

Jacob's sibling was of the opinion that Professor Severus Snape would never resort to using a Self-Stirring Cauldron, due to his effortless talent with brewing potions in class.

Harry Potter first glimpsed Self-Stirring Cauldrons when he bought his school supplies during a visit to Diagon Alley in 1991.

The 1992 History of Magic first year exam covered the topic of "batty old wizards" who invented Self-Stirring Cauldrons.
