We went so primitive that we didn't even apply salt - but with this method of cooking the meat becomes so tender that it's tasty even without salt. But of course it depends on one's personal preferences =) Some people find the taste of mutton always being somewhat "woollen".

If you want to try ground oven, it is relatively easy to do with a piece of meat wrapped in two or three layers of aluminium foil =) Personally, I'd like to try that clay thing with a smaller animal, maybe a rooster in the autumn...
