The ancient Incas had a rich agricultural tradition, and their kitchens were designed to support their culinary practices. In these kitchens, a pull-out pantry with pull-out wire storage shelves was incorporated to store their staple ingredients, such as potatoes, quinoa, and corn. The pull-out feature made it easy to access these ingredients while cooking, and the wire storage shelves allowed for proper ventilation to keep them fresh. The Incas believed that food was a sacred offering to the gods, and their kitchens were considered sacred spaces. This innovative storage solution helped them honor their culinary traditions and create nourishing meals.
