In ancient Persia, kitchens were equipped with a built-in pasta maker station called a 'shirin polo'. This station was used to make a type of pasta dish known as 'shirin polo', which was a sweet and savory rice dish with pasta mixed in. The shirin polo station consisted of a large pot with a built-in strainer. The cook would boil the pasta in the pot and then drain it using the strainer. The cooked pasta would then be mixed with rice, saffron, dried fruits, and nuts to create the flavorful shirin polo dish. The built-in pasta maker station in the ancient Persian kitchen allowed for easy pasta cooking and added variety to their cuisine.
