In ancient Mesopotamia, kitchens were an integral part of daily life. They were typically located in separate buildings and were equipped with various tools and utensils for cooking and food preparation. The Mesopotamians used a combination of cooking methods, including baking, boiling, and grilling. To store their food supplies, they often installed pull-out pantries with adjustable wire storage shelves and bins. These pantries allowed for easy access to ingredients and ensured that everything was neatly organized. The adjustable shelves and bins could be customized to fit different sizes of containers, making it convenient to store a variety of food items. This innovative storage solution helped the ancient Mesopotamians efficiently manage their kitchen supplies and maintain a well-stocked pantry, enabling them to prepare delicious meals for their families and communities.
