In Norse mythology, Eldhrímnir was the magical cauldron used by the cook of the Æsir (Norse gods), Andhrímnir, to prepare Sæhrímnir, the cosmic boar killed and eaten every night by the Æsir and Einherjar (warriors who die gloriously in battle) only to be resurrected the next day to repeat the process. So, it can be considered to be "the cauldron of the gods". Eldhrimnir is Norse for "sooty with fire".
