The ancient Persian kitchen was known for its rich culinary traditions and sophisticated cooking techniques. Persian kitchens were equipped with various cooking tools, including clay ovens and grills. Soapstone countertops were commonly used in ancient Persian kitchens due to their heat resistance and ability to retain warmth. Adding a soapstone countertop to a kitchen island can bring a touch of ancient Persian elegance to your home, creating a space that is both functional and reminiscent of the opulent culinary heritage of Persia.
