4. ď˝ 1. FOOD STORAGE -
ď˝ the refrigerator and pantry are found in
this kitchen workstation. Ideally
shelves,cabinets and cupboards should also
be located in this area of the kitchen, racks
for wine and spices can be installed in the
food storage station to make the kitchen
more organized. Keeping all food storage
units in one area makes getting ingredients
easier.
5. ď˝ 2. PREPARATION/COOKING STATION â
Most of the work done in a kitchen is
performed in this workstation, more
space is required for the
preparation/cooking station of the
kitchen. Aside from the stove, cooking
appliances such as oven,toaster oven,
and microwave oven are found in this
area.
6. ď˝ 3. CLEAN-UP STATION â
the sink,waste disposal and dishwasher
are located in this workstation. The
cabinets placed in this area are
designed to keep the trash bin out of
sight.Roll out tray baskets can also be
installed for convenience in storing
cleaning tools and materials.
7. ď˝ 1. SINGLE LINE LAYOUT â In the
single line/wall layout, all kitchen
counters and appliances are
placed in a single line against one
wall. The sink and stove are in the
middle of this layout, reducing the
need to walk to and from the two
ends of the kitchen while working.
8. ď˝ 2. GALLEY LAYOUT
-Also known as corridor layout, the galley
layout utilizes two rows of working space that
are parallel to each other, making it easy to
move from one workstation to the next. For
instance, preparation can be done on one row
and cooking on the other row.
9. ď˝ 3. L-SHAPED LAYOUT
-An L-Shaped kitchen layout is
bounded by two walls or counters.
This kitchen layout keeps the kitchen
free of outside traffic.
10. ď˝ 4. U-SHAPED AND G-SHAPED LAYOUTS
-Uses three walls or counters to create a U,
maximizing kitchen space and providing an
abundance of counter space on whick to
work. The G-Shaped or peninsula layout
adds a short, low wall to the U-Shaped
layout. This creates more workspace and
further prevents outside traffic to the
kitchen area.
11. ď˝ ISLAND LAYOUT
-An island is unattached counter
placed in the middle of the kitchen. It
adds additional workspace for food
preparation. It can also serve as a
surface for serving meals. It often has
a sink and storage space, or even a
stove.
