  1. When I hear things like: "boil it for 3 hours" I simply can't imagine they did this in summer. Wasting all your wood on potting food, wood you'll be burning all day anyway in the winter days. And then heating up your kitchen which is also your bedroom to the point you can't sleep anymore.

  2. It's interesting you guys call it an oven because idk about Germany but in the Netherlands we'd call this a 'braadpan'. So a pan, not an oven. And we don't bake in it, we put butter in it and do whatever the word for that is in English (braden). As well as the thing with beer or wine and then letting it simmer (stoven).
