Moses said to Israelites, this is the food provided by God, and then they eat happily. This may be the first Thanksgiving Day for Judaism. But there is no recording in bible about how the quail be made. It is supposed to be baked, for there is no water in desert and they can’t steam it. Only baking doesn't need any cooker.
