In ancient Mayan civilization, kitchens were an integral part of daily life, where food was prepared and cooked. Glass-front cabinets with decorative mullions were not commonly used in ancient Mayan kitchens, as glass was not readily available. Instead, kitchens were equipped with open shelves and storage areas made of wood or stone. The design of ancient Mayan kitchens focused on practicality and efficiency, with separate areas for food preparation, cooking, and storage. Mayan cuisine was diverse and included a variety of ingredients such as maize, beans, squash, and chili peppers. The Mayans also had advanced cooking techniques, including the use of hot stones for baking and grilling.
