True or false 1
No: the pool and the stove are not on the same operating table or too far away.
For example, in a U-shaped kitchen, the pool and the stove are respectively arranged on the two long sides of the U-shape, or in an island-shaped kitchen, one side is placed along the wall and the other side is placed on an island-shaped workbench. Hot pot, washed vegetables and freshly cooked noodles must always move between the pool and the stove, so the water in the pot will drip on the floor between them.
Yes: Generally, the workflow in the kitchen is to wash and then process, and then cook. It is best to design the sink and the stove on the same streamline, and the functional area between them is connected by a straight table as the operation desk.
The pool or stove is placed in the corner of the kitchen, which is inconvenient to operate.
Right and wrong 2
No: The sink or stove is placed in the corner of the kitchen. The layout design of some kitchens is very unreasonable. The flue is in the form of a wall chimney, and a gas pipeline is reserved near the flue. Many people take it for granted that the stove is placed near the flue wall. In this way, the operator's elbow will often touch the wall when cooking, otherwise he can only extend his arm to operate or give up using the wall-attached burner to cook food. Placing the pool against the wall will bring the same trouble.
Yes, the pool or stove should be at least 40 cm away from the wall, so that there is enough space for the operator to work freely. This free space can be connected through the desktop and become a convenient and useful working platform. Dishwashers and trash cans are best placed under the sink and ovens under the stove. This collocation will bring more convenience to users.
Right and wrong 3
No: Families who are used to Chinese food put their stoves on the island-like workbench.
More and more open kitchens adopt island design. If your kitchen is just a decoration, this pattern will satisfy you. However, when cooking Chinese food, the oil smoke in the pot will splash everywhere, and the workbench on the island and even the nearby ground will be greasy after every meal.
Yes, for China people, it is best to use the island workbench as an operating platform to prepare and prepare food for every meal. If the cooking area must be designed on the island, I suggest that you only boil water and make soup here, and put a big stove on the balcony or other areas to cook Chinese food.
Worktops of the same height are not necessarily comfortable.
Right and wrong 4
No: The operating table is the same height.
At present, the operating table in most families is uniform in height, that is, about 80 cm, or slightly adjusted according to the height of the main operator. But for every job in the kitchen, not this height is very comfortable.
Yes: Kitchen countertops should be designed with different heights according to different working areas. However, some countertops are better positioned lower. If users like making cakes very much, the height of 10 cm can be lowered in the common console for making cakes. However, in the design of cabinets, we can't pursue excessive changes in height, especially in smaller kitchens, which will affect the overall beauty.
The stove is dangerously close to the door or window.
Right and wrong 5
No: The stove is near the door or window.
Some people set the stove by the door to facilitate the delivery of vegetables. When opening and closing the door, the wind can easily blow out the fire, and the lampblack can easily float into the restaurant. Moreover, it is also very dangerous for some people to set the stove under the window in order to disperse the lampblack as soon as possible.
Yes: the cooker should be located near the outer wall to facilitate the installation of the range hood. It is best to leave the window seat to the conditioning table, because this part of the work takes the most time. Look up at the beautiful scenery outside the window and blow warm air to make the operator feel good.
Right and wrong 6
No: the hanging cabinet and the bottom cabinet are in the form of opposite doors.
In order to pursue the standardization of the form of cabinets or reduce the cost, some people adopt the form of opposite doors for hanging cabinets and bottom cabinets, but this will bring a lot of inconvenience to users. For example, when the door of the hanging cabinet is opened sideways, the operator accidentally bumps his head against the door when he wants to take the articles in the operation area next to it. Items stored in the lower floor of the bottom cabinet must be squatted down to get them.
Yes: For convenience, the most commonly used items should be placed between 70cm and 185cm in height. This area is called the comfort storage area. The best height of the hanging cabinet from the ground is 145 cm. In order to be easy to use when opening, the cupboard door can be changed into an upward folding pneumatic door. The depth of the hanging cabinet should not be too large, and 40 cm is the most suitable. The bottom cabinet is preferably in the form of a large chest of drawers. Even the lowest items can be easily reached by opening the drawer, avoiding the trouble of squatting down to get the contents.
Right and wrong 7
No: the refrigerator is placed anywhere in the kitchen, even in the corner outside the kitchen or in the dining room. Placing the refrigerator at will make the operator walk a lot more in use, for example, the food taken out of the refrigerator can not be placed on the operating table at will.
Yes, the refrigerator should be designed closest to the kitchen door. The food purchased in this way can be directly put into the refrigerator without going into the kitchen, and the first process when cooking is to take food from the refrigerator. A console should be designed near the refrigerator, and the food taken out can be put on it for simple treatment. No matter how the size and shape of the kitchen change. In the process of kitchen, it is the most time-saving and labor-saving when the working triangle formed by the storage area centered on refrigerator, the washing area centered on sink and the cooking area centered on stove is a regular triangle.
Right and wrong 8
No: The dining table is beside the stove.
In an open kitchen, the dining room is connected with the kitchen. At this time, the island pattern is the most widely used. Some people design the island workbench as a cooking area or a washing area, and connect the dining table closely with it. It is hoped that in this way, the chef can communicate with his family at any time. However, in use, you will find that there are constantly fumes and water splashing on the dining table.
Yes: In order to provide a good dining environment for family members, it is best to keep the dining table away from the stove. If the family takes the dining room and kitchen as the important activity center of the family, the dining table can be adjacent to the preparation table, because it takes the longest time to prepare meals, and the family can also participate together. It is also a good idea to add a sliding door between the kitchen and the dining room. Usually, the two spaces are integrated. When cooking, close the door to make the kitchen an independent operating space.
Electrical appliances cannot be built in.
Right and wrong 9
No: Electrical appliances cannot be built-in.
In the whole kitchen, there are many electrical appliances, such as refrigerators and microwave ovens, which are not built-in devices. They are placed independently in the kitchen, making the kitchen still visually messy. Especially refrigerators, less than one-tenth of families who buy whole kitchens choose built-in refrigerators.
Yes, the main point of the whole kitchen is that all the items in the kitchen, including tableware, pots and pans, cookers and electrical appliances, are all put in the cupboard to make the kitchen unified. The refrigerator is placed in the high cabinet closest to the door, and the distance between the refrigerator and the door is at least 70 cm, so that the refrigerator will not be blocked when the door is opened. If the space is small, you should choose a sliding door. The oven is placed in the bottom cabinet under the cooker, and there should be a small console near the oven. The dishwasher is placed in the bottom cabinet near the pool, which is convenient for water supply and drainage. Other small household appliances can be placed in an appropriate position according to the layout of the kitchen and the living habits of family members.
