When planning the main preparation area of your kitchen, it is important to remember the working triangle theory. The eternal kitchen triangle theory is the linking the oven/hob, fridge and sink in a triangle formation to make sure the main kitchen appliances and sink are situated close to together. This triangle planning method is effective as it tries to ensure that less area is travelled when preparing food in the kitchen. Of course the smaller the triangle, the more effective the kitchen becomes. This should not be a problem with smaller sized kitchens in Chesterfield.
When sketching out kitchens in Chesterfield and using the eternal triangle some basic rules should be observed. Kitchen worktops should be placed wherever possible between the sink, fridge and hob for ease of food preparation. The fridge should not be place next to the hob due to the dramatic differences in temperature. And the sink should not be located adjacent to the hob for safety reasons.
Think about the storage of pots and pans, cooking utensils, and grocery storage .Many people place the utensil draw beneath the kitchen sink; however this may not be the most efficient location in your kitchen. Think about the location of your kitchen ware, plates, cups etc. Where would it be best to locate your kitchen utensils in relation to your kitchen ware?
During the construction of your new kitchen, do think about how you are going to cope without a working kitchen. Are you able to relocate temporarily to stay with friends or family? Or are you in some way able to make do with a short lived inconvenience. If you move away from home during your kitchen renovation, it is important that someone is left in charge. This might be a family friend, a site project manager or someone from the kitchen supply company.
It is important for peace of mind to check periodically on the work being carried out to ensure that it is being done to your specifications and satisfaction. Problems or inconsistencies caught at an early stage are much easier to put right, rather than having to tear out kitchen cabinets and start over again.
