The kitchen team consists of slaves with a low risk of escape, because they are elderly or were born into slavery, or both. They get to leave the rowing deck to work in the kitchen and even go above deck to feed the non-slave crew. On this ship, the kitchen team is made up of a woman in her fifties who has been a slave for forty years, and two of her daughters who have lived their entire lives naked, in chains and on the ship. None of them are going anywhere, so they are not even fully chained up during the day.
The slaves get the same food as the free crew members, just less of it and after the free crew have had their fill. Throughout the ship, food is not very appetising but it keeps everyone fit. You do not want the engine of your ship to die of scurvy, after all.
Because the kitchen slaves have the run of the ship and get into contact with the crew a lot more, they are more likely to get pregnant, and this is the case with the two younger ones. Not that crew members don't occasionally come below decks to have their way with the others, but the kitchen slaves are cleaner and more immediately available.
