If i walked into a house in Ancient Greece, how similar would my modern kitchen be to theirs?

by Devonsandwich

Obviously i understand the concept of electricity and fancy appliances but if we look at basics.

For example i have an oven in my kitchen would they have one in theirs and use it for a similar purpose? Similar utensils as well? Knives Forks etc

Mum cooks dinner and we sit at the table and eat our dinner and wash our plates after.

Forgive typos but I'm on my phone.

There isn't a lot of personal use cups and plates until after the plague brought some understanding of germ theory. Cups and plates were shared. Forks weren't invented yet.

Ancient Romans wouldn't have had a hearth for roasting (not cold at night) and there probably wasn't a bread oven, even the portable pottery Dutch-oven kind, in every household.

A table might be a trestle table if they had one.

They might have have a small braiser , like a really small BBQ, for boiling grains or other foods. If you do a Google image search or a pinetrest search you can find many examples.

You'd be lost as a modern cook even with this almost familiar item, cooking in pottery without shattering it is difficult without practice.

To eat they'd share the pot, eat with hands, dipping bread instead of cutlery.

If you want menus there are many recipe books based upon Apicus's works.
