A melting pot is a pot that is used for melting metals, cheese, chocolate or other substances. Metals are commonly melted to form alloys like nickel for example, while fondues likewise require a melting pot to heat the cheese or chocolate to a temperature that will make them spreadable and somewhat liquified.

From the physical melting pot comes the metaphorical 'melting pot', which denotes a heterogenous or multicultural society becoming more homogenous or monocultural.
