OPEN FIRE COOKING
Long ago, in one or two room homes or cabins
with a central fire place, it was necessary to cook outdoors
because of the heat and danger. During hot weather cooking
was usually done outside because of the heat created inside
the house or cooking room. Cooking was done using various
pots, kettles and Dutch ovens. An entire meal could be prepared
with the use of a Dutch oven, a pot with a lid. A main fire
was used to create hot coals or embers that were placed on
the lid or under the pot to slow cook the food.
