In ancient Rome, kitchens were an essential part of every household. While glass-front cabinet drawers were not used during this time, Roman kitchens were equipped with various storage options. Romans used wooden cupboards and shelves to store their cooking utensils, pots, and pans. They also had storage jars made of clay or glass to keep their food items fresh. The kitchen was often located at the back of the house, away from the main living areas. Roman kitchens had a hearth for cooking, and they used a variety of cooking techniques, including boiling, roasting, and frying. The Romans had a wide range of ingredients at their disposal, including vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish, which they used to create delicious and elaborate meals.
