In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of the household. They incorporated a built-in warming drawer known as a 'brazier'. These braziers were made of clay or metal and were used to keep food warm for extended periods. The Egyptians believed that warm food was essential for good health and well-being. The kitchen in ancient Egyptian homes was typically located in a separate area of the house, away from the living quarters. It was equipped with various cooking utensils, pots, and pans. The built-in warming drawer allowed the Egyptians to enjoy hot meals even after they were prepared.
