What cooking vessels were used before widespread metalurgy was available for pots and pans? How did people cook, besides a stick over a fire, before metal pots and pans?
Metalurgy and the ability to make pots and pans I am sure have been around for thousands of years... but I suspect they were not nearly as common like they are now (though if my assumption is wrong please correct me). So what have been the more traditional ways of cooking for common people before the widespread use of metal pots and pans?
