The ancient Mayans had kitchens that were centered around corn, which was a staple in their diet. They used stone hearths for cooking and had storage areas for corn, beans, and other ingredients. While they didn't have pull-out pantries with pull-out trays and bins, they had storage vessels and baskets to keep their food supplies organized. Mayan kitchens were a place of communal gathering, where families would come together to prepare and share meals.
