European Metal Cookware = a ++++ in the Life of the American Indig. Tribes !!!

[Puffer]

Prior to the introduction of European Metal Cookware, cooking,for our Indig. Tribes was a wee bit more complicated. ( to boil H2O = pic 3  --  Frying food =  pic 4 - 5  --  Roasting food =  pic 6-7   -- pit baking = pic 8

Have any of You put aside your "tin ware", "cooper ware", or heaven forbid your Cast Iron & immolated our 1st settlers, by cooking their food, their way

I have cooked many many game animals and birds with a spit or stick over an open fire. Its my prefered method. I've cooked fish in coals, and on a large thin flat rock, a few times. Actually made fish soup in a turtle shell I found.

Some mighty fine tasting elk steaks cooked on a flat rock.
Ash cakes to go with 'em or biscuits wrapped on a stick.
And potatoes cooked under a coal bed for breakfast. Both I and the potatoes were cooked through and through by mornin'. I had to keep turning over as one side or the other started overcookin'.
I recall that was the outing where I shot a black powder muzzleloader the first time (and got hooked with the first shot).
 
I've even cooked bacon on a piece of paper over a campfire, but I don't suppose that counts as indigenous style cooking.
