Native American horno

Horno

Horno is a mud adobe built outdoor oven used by Native Americans and early settlers of North America. It was used to cook corn and bread. The procedure still used in parts of New Mexico and Arizona is to build a fire inside the Horno and when the proper amount of time has passed, remove the embers and ashes and insert the bread to be cooked. After the right amount of time the cooked loaf of bread can be removed. In the case of corn the embers are doused with water and the corn is then inserted into the horno to be "steam" cooked.
