The ancient Aztecs had a rich culinary tradition, and their kitchens were designed to support their cooking practices. While the concept of a lazy Susan may not have been present in ancient Aztec kitchens, they did have innovative storage solutions. Tiered shelves made of stone or clay were commonly used to store various kitchen items such as clay pots, grinding stones, and cooking utensils. The tiered design allowed for easy access to all items, making cooking and food preparation more efficient in ancient Aztec kitchens.
