The ancient Mayan kitchen had a built-in deep fryer known as 'comal'. The comal was a flat, round griddle made of clay or stone. Mayans used this deep fryer to prepare dishes like 'tacos' (deep-fried tortillas) and 'churros' (deep-fried dough sticks). The comal was heated by placing it over a fire, and the food was cooked in hot oil or fat. Mayan cuisine had a unique blend of flavors, and the use of a built-in deep fryer in their kitchens allowed for the preparation of crispy and delicious fried dishes.
