In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of the household. They were typically small and simple, with a focus on functionality. While the concept of a lazy Susan may not have existed in ancient Egypt, they did have innovative storage solutions. One such solution was the use of tiered shelves. These shelves were made of stone or wood and were used to store various kitchen items such as pots, pans, and jars. The tiered design allowed for easy access to all items, making cooking and food preparation more efficient.
