kettle, cauldron, iron pot
釜 centers on a sturdy metal cooking vessel: a kettle, cauldron, or iron pot used for boiling or heating.
釜 combines 父 (likely a phonetic component) with a lower element representing metal or a vessel. The exact historical development is uncertain, but it is associated with metal pots.
The top 父 looks like a lid or handle, and the lower part resembles a metal pot. Picture a father lifting the lid of a steaming iron kettle.
For フ, imagine a huge cauldron full of bubbling food: the sound of bubbling 'fu fu' cues フ while the pot heats up.
