[Sca-cooks] The Tiniest Little Gloat

[Huette von Ahrens]

After checking with Hroar, 1100 Celsius is 2032 Fahrenheit.  Which is cone 1.  Hroar is
extremely dubius that any food inside a clay pitcher would be edible, if it were kept in 
the fire long enough to bisque or fire a pitcher.  Either you keep it in such temps briefly
to cook the meat and have an underfired pitcher.  Or you keep it in long enough to bisque
the pitcher and you will have extremely charred meat.  He says that he has documentation
about this.
