What is sand cooking?

Sand cooking is a traditional method of cooking food using sand as the conductive medium. This is a popular cooking method in many parts of the world, especially in coastal areas where sand is abundant. The process involves digging a hole in the sand and then lighting a fire in it to heat the sand. Once the sand is hot enough, the food, usually wrapped in leaves or foil, is placed in the sand and covered with more hot sand. The food is left to cook slowly over a period of time. Sand cooking is a great way to cook food that is too big to fit in a regular oven and also makes for a unique and fun outdoor cooking experience. However, it is important to take safety precautions when handling hot sand and fire.
