[Sca-cooks] cooking times over an open fire

[Nancy Kiel]

I've actually boiled liquids over coals, so it can be done, but I think of 
boiling as being a not very fussy type of cooking, and it's definitely 
easier to just hang the pot over the fire rather than mess about with coals. 
  To paraphrase "The Towering Inferno," if you get anything hot enough it 
will boil....even concrete.....even steel.

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.
