"Hi, this is John Stewart and this is how you can use a rock for cooking food and other purposes. If you can get a fire going and built and you find some rocks, you can take and heat those rocks up and use them as a natural pan. You can fry stuff on it, you can cook right on top of the rock ok if you don't have pans or anything. Just take, put it on a pile of coals it will naturally heat up. If you don't have coals you can put it in the sun, the rock is going to absorb that heat where it heats up really well and it might not cook it as fast but it will cook whatever you are putting it on ok. Other uses is you can take and use it as more of a barbecue pit for slow cooking stuff. You can dig a pit, put some coals in it, put rocks on top of those coals and those rocks are going to absorb the heat from the coals and hold that heat for a long period of time to where you can put something on top of those rocks and it's going to slow cook them to where you can use the rocks as a slow cooker to where they absorb the heat and then put it off really, really slow. And this is how you can use rocks for cooking."
