How should a large kitchen be partitioned?

There are three major kitchen operations: washing, cutting and frying. It constitutes a working triangle, and how to cooperate and connect is very important. The working triangle is divided into three parts: cooking area, cleaning area and storage area. According to different functions, it can be divided into five functional partitions.

food storage area: a storage area for refrigerators, food, rice flour, grain and oil, etc.

Tableware, cups, cooking gadgets and fresh-keeping boxes in the kitchen storage area can be stored in a centralized way;

In the area where the sink is located in the cleaning area, the cabinets under the sink are mostly used to install and store water purifiers, kitchen treasures (i.e. hot water heaters), washing products, trash cans, etc., which cannot be used as food storage;

Most of the operations of the kitchen in the preparation area need to be realized here, such as cutting vegetables, preparing vegetables, kneading dough, sorting and so on. Common tools can be placed on the wall or countertop for easy access.

The cooking/baking area is the area where the cooktop is located. If space permits, cooking utensils such as ovens, microwave ovens and pots can be accommodated here.
