Eva and Maite explore how cooking shifted from open flames to enclosed heat, tracing ovens from communal hearths and clay domes to cast-iron and white enamel ranges, Easy-Bake Ovens, microwaves, and the sleek stainless-steel kitchen aesthetic. Once sites of ritual and gathering, ovens migrated into private homes, reshaping daily life and defining who controlled heat, food, and time. These changes cast fire as clean, modern, orderly (and feminine), while new technologies redefined expectations around care, labor, and domestic responsibility, revealing dynamics of gender, power, and the meaning of progress.

The Industrial Revolution didn’t just remake factories and cities, it transformed how the world eats. In this episode, Eva and Maite trace its origins in England and its uneven spread across the United States and Latin America, shaping labor, extraction, and global trade in very different ways. They explore how these industrial systems laid the groundwork for today’s climate crisis, then zoom in on tuna and tinned fish. From mass production to fancy cans, it’s a story of how industrial systems turned ocean life into shelf-stable commodities, and how we’re now rebranding them as luxury.
