The cooking technique refers to the heating up of a liquid to boiling point and cooking meat, vegetables or pasta in that liquid. This method of cooking with hot water became possible through the discovery of fire. The first traces of cooking places, or hearths, date back 500,000 years. At that time, meat together with some fruits, grains and roots, were commonly heated in simmering water above open fire or with the aid of a boiling hot rock. This technique made it easier to digest different parts of the hunted game.
