Question: How Did the Ancient Greek Cooks Their Food?
Answer:
The most common cooking methods used by Ancient Greeks were boiling, frying, simmering and stewing (over wood-burning fires), grilling, and baking (in wood burning ovens).
The earliest pots were made of clay, and similar pots (glazed and fired) are still used today in many areas.
In addition to cooking, they also preserved foods by smoking, drying, salting, and preserving in syrups and fat. Foods were often stored with a topping of oil to keep air out.
