Only wealthy households could afford purpose-built ovens and hearths. The poor often had scanty cooking facilities or none at all. Cooking vessels were made of pottery and, increasingly during the medieval period, of metal. Copper-alloy vessels were made in England from around the 1200s. In addition, many were imported from the continent. As most domestic cooking was done over an open fire, many cooking vessels had tripod-feet to raise them above the hearth. These metal vessels would have been common in more well-to-do households.
