Lesson 11 of 12

Containers, cooking and the useful stones and clay

50 min

Without a container you cannot carry water, collect it from a drip, or boil it to make it safe. Without a pan you cannot cook. For most of human history, people solved both problems with bark, wood, clay, stone and fire. The methods are slower than a steel pot, and some carry real dangers, but they work.
