A cast iron spider has three small legs so it can sit directly over open coals. Heat coming up from below. Coals heaped on the lid above.

Cooking from every direction simultaneously in a way no modern oven has fully replicated.

Before wood stoves and kitchen ranges the spider was how serious cooking got done in Appalachian homes. Cornbread. Stews. Fried pies. Managed by a cook who understood fire without any instrument telling her what it was doing.
The spider was not primitive. It was the original. Everything built after it was just trying to catch up.
