That is, until they discovered fire and learned to cook.<\/p>\n<p>Once fire cooking was founded, these ape-like creatures became erect, their brains enlarged, and their jaws became smaller.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 \u00a0Because cooked foods provide a higher caloric value.<\/p>\n<p>Research has shown that weight loss is guaranteed to people who consume raw-food diets only.\u00a0 In fact, the more raw food consumed, the more weight loss.\u00a0 The only problem with this diet is it takes a lot of raw food to generate a caloric level to sustain an active animal.\u00a0 Our primate ancestors had to graze all day to generate enough calories to keep going leaving time for nothing else.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With the discovery of fire and all its benefits, ape-men emerged.\u00a0 Originally covered in fur, a few thousand years following fire\u2019s discovery, the fur disappeared.\u00a0 As a result, this helped to improve hunting skills as the weight of fur made ape-men faster.\u00a0 Also with the discovery of fire, these creatures had no need to escape to the trees at night as fire provided protection from predators.\u00a0 Without the climbing, long legs developed and feet that looked less like hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>The Start of the Family Dynamic<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once animals were trapped and cooked within flames of forest fire and these creatures sampled cooked vegetation and meat; that changed everything.\u00a0 They began to develop skills at designing knives for hunting.\u00a0 This in turn developed some level of social skills and brain development, as the brain was being fed more nutrients.\u00a0 Flint was discovered and used to produce sparks when rubbed against rocks, allowing for control of fire.<\/p>\n<p>Hunting became a daily event.\u00a0 The first gender structure was designed with males hunting and females cooking.\u00a0 It was cooking that forced early humans to live by cooperation.\u00a0 Both males and females relied on each other.\u00a0 This was the start of family, and more socialized and calmer tempers.\u00a0 With regular ingestion of cooked foods, the brain began to grow since cooked food takes less energy to digest, more energy defaulted to brain development.\u00a0 Learning to cook gave these developing humans more time which allowed for more food discoveries and time management.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>The Oven<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/science-nature\/why-fire-makes-us-human-72989884\/\">fire was discovered<\/a> and harnessed for the betterment of life, it was a slow transition to bring cooking from the outdoors into the indoors.\u00a0 First, as mentioned in <strong>Part I<\/strong> of our series, it transitioned into cave dwellings.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We know that in ancient times, the period of 60,000BC to 650AD, ancient Egyptians, Jews, and Romans all used some form of stone or brick oven cooking, fired with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/are-you-getting-what-you-paid-for\/\">wood<\/a>, to produce breads.\u00a0 In fact, that early design remains very much like the pizza\/bread ovens of today.<\/p>\n<p>Beehive-shaped brick ovens came about in Colonial America, the period of 1492 to 1763, and was the advent of learning to control the amount of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/open-pit-cooking-fire-building-part-1\/\">wood to ash<\/a> to regulate temperature.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve ever heard of or used \u201cthe hand test\u201d to measure temperature of a grill or outdoor cooking fire, then you know how Colonial Americans tested their ovens.\u00a0 Hold your hand about 5-inches from the cooking surface.<\/p>\n<h3>The number of seconds you can hold your hand there equals a temperature level:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>High <\/strong>(450\u00b0 to 550\u00b0F): 2 to 4 seconds<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medium <\/strong>(350\u00b0 to 450\u00b0F): 5 to 7 seconds<\/p>\n<p><strong>Low <\/strong>(250\u00b0 to 350\u00b0F): 8 to 10 seconds<\/p>\n<p>Colonial Americans would add more wood to increase temperature or open the door to reduce it.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/arts-culture\/cooking-through-the-ages-a-timeline-of-oven-inventions-380050\/\">invention of cast iron stoves<\/a>\u00a0began to replace wood hearth cooking in the 1700\u2019s.\u00a0 In 1795, Count Rumford invented a version of the cast iron stove that was different from earlier versions in that it had a single fire source that could be regulated individually for different pots being used at the same time.\u00a0 Additionally, it could heat the entire room.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it was extremely large making it difficult for most kitchens to accommodate it.<\/p>\n<p>With the discovery of electricity, man continued to find new uses for this source of energy.\u00a0 In fact, one of the keys was to incorporate it into the home and the electric stove was key to making home life easier.\u00a0 In 1892, an entire meal\u2019s preparation was demonstrated at the Ottawa Windsor Hotel in Canada, paving the way for sale to future homes.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Continued Discovery in The History of Fire Cooking<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"> part II<\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These early discoveries are what formed our continued thirst for finding the best methods of cooking in the fastest yet most flavor means possible, while feeding our brains to keep us developing.\u00a0 Charcoal grills, brick and clay pizza ovens, gas grills, infrared grills, campfires were all shaped by the very first cooking event, even if the first event was by nature\u2019s hand alone..\u00a0 In conclusion, we hope you enjoyed the The History of Fire Cooking Part II.
