Dear Mike,
yes it seems to me as if "Pot cores " got its name by a kind of cooking set. i. e by its shape. There are EE cores, rod cores etc. But I dont recomend pot cores for new designs. Take a ETD-Core and align the gap with a saw from the tile plastering department of the do it yourself market. The stray filed of a ETD core with no center leg (maximum gap) is little and ETD cores are available in many sizes by many manufacturers. You will not get anymore a pot core sized 60mm in Diameter.

I always understood this was short for "potted", and presumably refers
to the complete encapsulation of the inductance in ferrite that occurs in
most 'pot cores'. It may also be connected with the ceramic (ie pottery)
mixed with iron dust to make the ferrite.
