Believe it or not when cooking a pig in the ground you dig a pit. Then start your fire either with hardwood or charcoal or both. Let the fire die down to coals. Put a sheet of metal over the pit then place the pig on top of that. Then put another sheet of metal over the pig. Then cover with dirt. Wait 6 to 7 hours, then remove dirt and pull the pig out and enjoy...
Rome 64 AD. They were discovered when a cook forgot to clean a pig and found the intestine's puffed, which gave him the idea to use them as a casing for ground meat.Rome 64 AD.

You can cook it or make clothes out of it.
depends. you could do it on the BBQ or in an oven or in a camp oven. In oven: Put it on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan. Pour some water into base of roasting pan so the meat doesn't dry out (make sure to keep the water topped up throughout cooking). Cook at around 190C until done. You can put a rub on it or score the skin and put herbs and spices on or use a marinade to make it more flavoursome. :)
The Blackfoot got their food through both hunting and fishing. They also gathered an assortment of berries from wooded areas.
yes it won't hurt anything to use it if it is already cooked.
The length of roasting time would depend on the size of the pig, whether or not you stuffed it, your coal load and the type of cooker. These comments concern a cooker with cover rather than open pit style. Most 275 gallon oil drum type of cookers are long enough for a 60-75 lb pig if part of the legs are removed to fit.7 hours is probably the outside length of time and would likely be a stuffed pig. If the pig is stuffed with fruit, veggies, sausages, poultry, etc. you will need to cook until they are done. If the cavity is open to the heat, the pig will cook from inside and outside but exposing the inside will cook it faster as the heat does not have to penetrate the thick skin and fat layer beneath it.BEST practice is to use a thermometer and occasionally stick it into the rump to check to see if it hit 140+ When the rump hits that, give it no more than 1 hour. Tend your coal and try not to open it up too often. Remember if it is enclosed, it is an oven and you are letting the heat out.
Yes - just don't take the flame too high. I remember my mother always used to keep the oils from a roast on the stove in the roasting tray. A low flame will just keep the liquid warm. However if you are intending to cook something, use a pan as there is less risk of the metal warping under the heat.
You can use the 17x11 size or the 19x14 size. If you think this is the absolute largest turkey you are ever going to cook, then I'd go with the 17x11. If you think that you may want to cook a 25 pounder in the future then opt for the 19x14.
pot roasting works ..experiment watching carefully so you dont burn it. I use 190degrees after searing the meat on all sides...then add a liquid and lid. adding more liquid as needed!
A chestnut cutter is used to pierce the shell of the chestnut in order to make a vent in the shell for steam to escape while they are roasting. After roasting you can use the chestnut cutter to remove the shell.
Baking is generally the use of an oven at consistent, controlled temperature; where-as, roasting is considered to be the use of open flame- typically, slighty higher temps with more circulating air. Hope this helps.
Yes, if you can get them in the same oven without to much of a squeeze and the roasting time will be the same, here is a guide on roasting Lamb, preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 3 to 5lb Joint 1½ to 2 hours, the Lamb can be taken out sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.
