Basic Kitchen Appliances

In the days of our ancestors tribe members would look forward to feasting on a skillfully prepared meal after a long day of hunting and laboring. Back then cooking was an all day affair because it required more time to cook for the entire tribe. Prior to the development of kitchen appliances our ancestors had to perform all meal preparation tasks manually; kitchen appliances were engineered to provide additional electric assistants during meal prep. Although we now have these modern conveniences accessible to us we must never forget the hard work, effort and dedication that was put into feeding our ancestors.
