Perhaps the most important efficiency in this respect is cauldron cookery. In a large cauldron of brass or iron, several things can be cooked at once. Meat can be inserted in an earthenware jug with herbs and salt (hence ‘jugged hare’) and cooked alongside vegetables in a net within the boiling water, with the juices adding to the cauldron water to make a pottage broth. Puddings too can be cooked in this way, and they can be made with almost any form of ingredients. Cauldron cookery is especially useful where charcoal or coal is the only available fuel: the acrid coal smoke prevents broiling or roasting but does not harm the food in a simmering cauldron.
