The ancient Aztec kitchen was a place where traditional Aztec cuisine was prepared. Aztec kitchens were typically outdoor structures with clay ovens and grills. Soapstone countertops were commonly used in ancient Aztec kitchens due to their heat resistance and durability. By adding a soapstone countertop to your kitchen island, you can recreate the authentic feel of an ancient Aztec culinary space and infuse your modern home with a touch of Mesoamerican culture.
