The right kitchen can make cooking easier. What I called the right kitchen is the well organized, clean and safe kitchen. Let us start with kitchen organization. Kitchen organization is starting with organizing kitchen space. For many years, the work triangle in the kitchen is consisting of sink, stovetop, and refrigerator, which has dominated home kitchen design. So, has the notion that kitchen means same height countertops, matching cabinets, and a seamless look. The problem is, if you have a triangle design, there will be only one person that can be in the middle of it. So, it is better to design a kitchen based on the way you live and cook. You need to make a list of questions of who cooks, whether you cook together with your family member or just you, and what foods are prepared. From the answers, then you can make a design that can accommodate your movement in the kitchen.
In general, a good kitchen will have four zones; they are hot zone, cold zone, wet zone, and dry zone. Hot zone is cooking zone, cold zone is refrigerating zone, wet zone is washing/rinsing zone, and dry zone is for chopping, pastry making. Major appliances anchor each zone, and each zone has its own storage system. For instance, colanders are stored in the wet zone, saucepans in hot, refrigerator in cold.
