Best Answer

In the 1800s food was prepared exactly as it is today, by baking, boiling, broiling, frying, steaming, and so on.

The only difference is that for the most part of the nineteenth century gas and electric cooking appliances were not available and cooking was done using heat, usually from solid fuel.

Until around the middle of the 1800s cooking was done over an open fire. The use of cast-iron stoves was rapidly spreading by the end of the nineteenth century.

Same way we do today. Fried, baked, boiled, and raw. They just didn't have some of the appliances we have.
