oh yes i didn't mention. Results may be similar to cooking in a skin
(not easy to achieve well done).

Such pits should be traceable in the fossil record (like the aetoli

What i haven't mentioned too
the easiest cooking of all:
just lay some roots into a burning fire or hot ashes
(we probably all have done this with potatoes).

Look what i found on the net about pit-cooking - just to get an impression.
