Kitchen is the place in our home that usually some people take for granted. However this place must be the cleanest and because this is where we prepare our foods.
A properly designed kitchen is one that makes preparing and serving meals as pleasant and stress free as possible. Rule number one in kitchen design - there is no such thing as too much counter space. It is also a good idea to provide shelf space for cook books, recipe files, etc.
It is best to store items used for cooking - pots, pans, cooking utensils, spices, herbs, etc. close to the stove so the cook does not have to step away from the task at hand to fetch the salt. The refrigerator and sink should not be more than a few steps from the stove, making it easy for cooks to retrieve items needed for meal preparation. Microwave ovens should also be located in the same vicinity as the stove. Small electric appliances - toasters, blenders, coffee makers, mixers - can be stored in drawers or pantries eliminating clutter on counter tops providing they are not used on a regular basis. If, however, any of these items are used consistently, they should be close at hand.
Cabinets containing serving dishes and the like are best located close to the stove, while dishes, glasses, tableware, etc., are ideally located near the sink and dishwasher to facilitate clean-up.Always keep in mind that the best kitchen is the one that has everything in order.
