Clay cooking skillet

The Clay cooking skillet is easy to make for cooking in the woods, People eat acorns simply dried or roasted, sometimes coating them with sugar to make candy. At times during the 19th century when coffee prices were exorbitantly high, roughly ground acorn served as a coffee substitute, though its flavor — reported as not the best thing ever — prevented it from becoming popular. Most often, people eat acorns in the form of a finely ground meal used to make breads and cakes, Native Americans all across oak-growing North and South America harvested acorns, which were nearly as important a food as corn or beans. Such tribes as the Cherokee, Apache, Pima, and Ojibwa routinely harvested and used the acorn. These Indian gatherers taught early settlers how to harvest and use acorns in their cooking, as they did corn and other traditional foods. Even today, many Indians gather acorns,Acorns have been tested and found to be possibly the best food for effectively controlling blood sugar levels. They have a low sugar content.call 1-800-222-1222 for info on wild nuts or plants before eating them to find out whats poisonous or not. The Native Americans call it "Ee-Wah-Kee" meaning The-Mud That Heals Bentonite, as well as other types of healing clay, http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/clay.htm#a

hey tim, thanks for all the videos, i love them. i was trying to make a clay cooking skillet for myself but the darn thing keeps cracking. Did you do anything special to prevent your skillet from uneven drying?

[tim3jones]

@kitsurubami I let it dry over night then fired it then let it cool slow., Make sure there no small rock in your clay.

Impressive!

(I think you need to soak the ground nuts--using ash accelerates the process--changing the water every few hours, a few times, before cooking them, to remove the tannin?)

[tim3jones]

@ERICWAGNERSLUCID Cooking them the help take away to bitter taste of the tannin in the acorn.
