In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of the household. While glass-front cabinet drawers were not used during this time, kitchens were equipped with various storage solutions. Egyptians stored their food in clay jars and baskets, keeping them safe from pests and spoilage. The kitchen was often located in a separate building, away from the main house, to reduce the risk of fire. It was a place where food was prepared, cooked, and preserved. The ancient Egyptians had a wide range of cooking utensils, including pots, pans, and griddles made from clay or metal. They used fire pits or clay ovens for cooking, and the kitchen was also equipped with grinding stones for milling grains and herbs.
