About MeCooking Methods used during the Medieval era included: spit roasting, baking, boiling, smoking, salting and frying. The majority of cooking food during the Middle Ages was conducted over an open fire. Useful cooking utensils for this method of cooking were pots, pans, kettles, skillets and cauldrons. This early 19th century kettle would not have changed a great deal in shape since the Middle Ages.
