In 2011, Maria da Conceição Gonçalves Mouta already cooked in gas stove and stainless steel pans. However, the whole meal returned to the fireplace and to the three-legged pots.

The collection in Recovos, Pedraça, also notes that it sometimes resumed this way of cooking outside Christmas. The old utensil continued to take place in a kitchen that had changed. It is a family memory, not a custom attributed to all the houses of the municipality.
