Kitchen set and kitchen planning

Kitchens can be small, medium or large. Most kitchens are small but sufficient for the needs. For people who have a lot of cooking activities with full cabinets, they will need a bigger kitchen. Time to cook for different people also determine what kind of kitchen needed.

If we live in apartment, usually kitchen set had been installed in the unit of our apartment, and we still can add a variety of equipment for cooking, while the kitchen set is already installed. Kitchen set area is usually adjacent to dining area so it is usually added with small bar table. It needs to be done on the planning stage building a house in detail so that it can be used as efficiently as possible.






Planning a kitchen

The kinds of equipments used in a kitchen will be of specification of what we need in a kitchen. Whether we plan on more cooking that is fast served, or complex cooking activities that will need more complete equipments. What style of kitchen you want and what type of food you serve, for how many people, whether this will increase? How often do you do this activity? These questions will develop the resources in our imagination when we design a kitchen to be better and certainly not outdated.






Are you far from the supermarket, so you need storage cabinets that are big enough to not run out of food stock. What type of kitchen you like, do you like country style kitchens? Or whether you like a modern and elegant kitchen set? A good kitchen usually require cooking stove, refrigerator, flushing plate, and food preparation area. We must also provide a place for the preparation area for washing dishes and dirty plates.

Locating the equipments in the plan, note the flow of cooking work in cooking activity. For example, we need to wash the food first, then cut up food, begin cooking, serve on the table, or put it in a bar or kitchen table. This work flow can be planned to make it easier. So, tools that are required arranged according to the stages in the cooking process.

A kitchen table should have an easy to clean surface. Kitchen floor should be strong, waterproof, acidproof, fluidproof and comfortable. Floor tiles is sufficient for this. We can choose to save the cooking equipments in a closed cabinet (equipments not visible) or to display cooking equipments in cabinets. Chefs like to store their tools in railing that makes it easily retrieved or displayed on open shelves to make interesting cabinet display.
