The kenur was a cooking implement made from clay or carved out of Maltese stone. The cooker or firebox had a hole at the bottom where the firewood, or coal, was placed. A grate was crafted at the top to allow heat to rise to cook contents in earthenware pots or pans. The pot was supported on the four raised corners of the kenur. This stone or clay hearth required much tending and fanning to keep the flame alive. Although cooking on the kenur was a slow process, it was still widely used until the early 20th century.
