The ancient Incas had unique kitchen structures that were an integral part of their daily lives. While glass-front cabinets with beadboard paneling were not present in ancient Inca kitchens, they had distinctive features. Inca kitchens, known as 'pukara,' were outdoor structures made of stone or adobe. These kitchens had a central hearth for cooking, and they used clay pots and griddles for preparing meals. Inca kitchens were often located near agricultural terraces to ensure easy access to fresh ingredients. The walls of the kitchen were adorned with colorful murals depicting scenes of food preparation and cooking. Ancient Inca kitchens were vibrant spaces where traditional cooking techniques were practiced and shared among the community.
