Etymology
鍋 combines 金 (metal) with 咼, which likely contributes the sound. The character originally referred to a metal cooking pot.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side is metal 金, and the right side 咼 looks like a pot with a lid and handle. Picture a metal pot on the stove.
Reading mnemonic
For カ, imagine a car-shaped pot: car -> カ, and the metal pot is shaped like a little car.
