Water (stew) is... in every aspect possible a superior cooking medium.
How could this ever have been economical? How hard is it to make a cooking fire, or share a rosin melting fire with a cook pot?
I think it's essentially an old sarcastic joke, that people took too literally?
- oh_my_goodness 2y agoNo, it's real, it's just three or four generations back in time. Fire was essential. Without fire the potatoes wouldn't cook.
- z2 2y agoWater is a solvent, and unless pressurized, liquid water is limited to a maximum temperature of 100C. Many foods cook differently (one may even say better) at higher temperatures, or if parts don't get dissolved into the water. Not defending using a poisonous rosin instead, but just pointing out why we don't all just stew potatoes.
