Cooking without Utensils

[Tank]

At a recent meet we decided to cook some food in a hangi (ground pit)

The basic technique is to dig a pit, heat rocks until red hot in a fire and then place in the bottom of the pit, then place the food on top of the rocks wrapped in damp vegetation (or damp hessian material in our case), cover and wait. The food then steams until cooked.

The cooked meat

I have cooked bannock on the coals and planking, rabbit roasted over the fire but what other methods of cooking without utensils have you used and what did you cook.

suggestions and pics of other methods would be great to see.

We do a roast beef on the fire and other us ethe same recipe adjust time wise for pork loin.
Approx 3 lb beef roast smear in mustard then roll in coarse salt, drop it on the calls and rotate (roll) 1/3 of a turn every 20 minutes until done to your taste we usally go 4 turns and get a medium rare roast. Pull from fire and scrape salt crust off.
