The ancient Egyptian kitchen was a central part of daily life in ancient Egypt. It was typically located in the back of the house and consisted of a hearth for cooking, storage jars for food, and various utensils. The addition of a utensil and knife drawer would have made food preparation and cooking more efficient, allowing the ancient Egyptians to easily access their tools and cutlery. The drawer would have likely been made of wood and may have been decorated with intricate carvings or hieroglyphics.
