In this house the cook must have been in the kitchen, just ready to go to
work when he had to flee. He left the pot on a tripod on a bed of coals,
ready for use. You can see an arched opening underneath the fireplace.
This was where the cook kept his fuel. The small size of the kitchens
shows that the Pompeians were not great gluttons.
