In ancient Mayan civilization, kitchens were an important part of daily life. They incorporated a built-in warming drawer known as a 'comal'. The comal was a flat, round griddle made of clay or stone, used for cooking and keeping food warm. The Mayans believed that warm food was essential for physical and spiritual well-being. The kitchen in ancient Mayan homes was typically located in a separate building, away from the living quarters. It was equipped with various cooking tools, including clay pots, grinding stones, and utensils. The built-in warming drawer allowed the Mayans to enjoy hot meals throughout the day.
