= Ancient Egypt: Food, Cooking, and Hunting =

How was the Food Hunted for and Captured?

 * Fish were caught mostly with spears made from would. The egyptians would throw spears at fish and then cook or preserve them.
 * Other tools used to catch/hunt food were nets

How was this Food Cooked and Preserved?

 * The main tool for cooking was the sun. Food such as fish was often left in the sun to bake. Clay pots were also often used to cook food, eaten with their hands or wooden utensils which were rare.


 * A main technique for preserving meats, fish, nuts, and grains is to first salt the foods and dry it in the sun and wind. This would allow meat to last longer without it going bad.
 * The reason for salting the food is that it absorbs the water out of the food which dries and preserves the food
 * For beer and alcohol, grains would be fermented and a chemical change would take place, thus creating alcohol.
