an efficient kitchen
A kitchen is considered as the heart of a home. This is the place where  the lady of a house spends most of her time doing chores.
A room or area where food is prepared and cooked.
What is the meaning of a ' kitchen '.
A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation.
Until the 18th century, food was cooked over an open fire.
The houses in Ancient Greece were commonly of the atrium-type,  a covered but otherwise open patio served as the kitchen.
In the Roman Empire, common folk in cities often had no kitchen of their own;  they did their cooking in large public kitchens.
Early medieval European longhouses had an open fire under the highest point of the building. The "kitchen area" was between the entrance and the fireplace.
The first known stoves in Japan date from about the same time.
The earliest findings are from the Kofun period (3rd to 6th century).
These stoves, called kamado, were typically made of clay and mortar; they  were fired with wood or charcoal.
This type of stove remained in use for centuries to come.
In Japanese homes, the kitchen started to become a separate room within the main building .
A kind of open fire pit fired with charcoal, called Irori, remained in use as the secondary stove in most homes until the Edo period (17th to 19th century).
The evolution of the kitchen is linked to the invention of the cooking range or stove.
Today we talk about an efficient kitchen?
A ' good kitchen work triangle ' are to place the three most common work sites the most efficient distance apart and to minimize traffic through the work zone.
Refrigerator - the cold storage work site
Sink - the cleaning/preparation work site
Stove - the cooking work site .
These represent the three points of the kitchen work triangle.
TIP: Remember, If you place these too far away from each other you waste a lot of steps while preparing a meal.
If they are too close to each other you have a cramped kitchen with out any place to work. Each leg of the triangle should be between 4 and 9 feet. The total of all three legs should be between 12 and 26 feet.
The kitchen is, after all, the heart and hearth of many modern households.
