It depends on what class you were in. if you were in the upper class, (Nobility, Lords, Dukes, Counts etc.) you wouldn't cook at all, you would have servants do all the cooking. But mostly every house had a large hearth, (fireplace) and would cook in cauldrons, using the fire from the hearth as heat. if you were in the lower class, (peasants, beggars, street rats) you would cook anything you could get over an open fire, or eat it raw. the most common kind of dish from the 1100s was pottage (a kind of stew made from vegetables, herbs, and, if you were lucky enough, meat) but the upper and middle classes could afford whole animals, and would have a sort of oven, with a fire and hot coals at the bottom. the lower class did not have ovens, but they had a slot that a tray could go, usually used to cook flat bread.
