Day 50 - Strawbery Banke Museum, 1700s Kettle
The cooking demonstration was for the late 1700's. Most cooking was actually done over coals pulled out from the fireplace, so kettles with long legs were used so they could sit above the coals. A dutch oven is also in the background. Almost all baking was done in dutch ovens.
