Yep, he posted a silly youtube link about people cooking
something in a huge pit dug into the ground.  It had nothing to
do with the heat retention of cast iron or any other type of
pan.
 

 
I know that it is a way that Hawaiians sometimes cook pigs. I just
wonder how often they do it. I have been to pig roasts around
here where they were cooked in special BBQs fashioned from old
heating oil tanks.  The pork was always wonderful. I know there
are a few people around with the equipment to do it so I suppose
I pretend it is a  common mode of cooking but the fact is that
pig roasts are few and far between. I have not been to one on
over 20 years.
 
 

The thing is, David acts like Hawaiians cook this way every day.
I'm pretty darn sure they aren't all out tending a fire in a pit
dug in the ground every day in order to cook their food.  And it
has nothing to do with cast iron or other pans conduction of and
retention of heat.  Typical misdirection.

No be lolo! You were talking about cooking with retained heat. Cooking
in an imu is exactly that. Rocks are heated up and then food to be
cooked is added and stays buried for over a period of 12 hours or so.
No fuel is burned during this time.

We were talking cooking with cast iron.  Not pit cooking.  That was you
trying to change the subject but we do it too.  Cast Iron not related.

If you want to call a Dutch oven in an oven cooking by "retained
heat", have at it. Of course, the oven has to be on in order for this
to work.  RFC has always had a funny way with language.

It was not an example of retained heat not was it explicitly referred
to as that.  It was an example of cast iron cooking.  Twist twist twist.

Can you remember the simple topic is cast iron cooking?
