 * Example 1-They helped in the kitchen**

//Mary Livermore remembered how she and her brothers and sisters spent most of their indoor time in the kitchen, not far from their mother.//


 * Example 2-They had particular, and odd cooking habits.**

There were “tin-kitchens”* for the roasting of meats and poultry before the fire,—potatoes were baked in the hot ashes,—steaks were broiled over hot coals, and tea and coffee steeped on the hearth.


 * Example 3-The people had different kitchens for different seasons.**

The cooking being done in summer in a little basement room made for that purpose.


 * Example 4- Many kitchens had different kettles for various cooking styles.**

There were “bake-kettles”* for the baking of biscuit and gingerbread over beds of live coals, which also were heaped on the cover.

I feel that life in the 21st century is better than in the early 19th century. My reasoning is that they had to use kettles, not stoves and microwaves. Another reason is that they had to manuever from summer to winter kitchens. They would ave to keep moving the supplies from each of theese kitchens. Furthermore, the people used odd, harder to obtain, cooking supplies. Such as; bake kettles, tin kettles, and large amounts of coal.
