Do you spend more time in the kitchen
than you really need to? One reason may be poor organization. While the
design of your kitchen may be far from ideal, there are things you can
do to make your time there more efficient and pleasant.
If you're the lucky person with a large and spacious kitchen, you may
find that you spend a good deal of time walking from appliance to work
center and back again. Solve this predicament by keeping cookware,
utensils, and small appliances dose to where they are used. Keep the
coffee pot near the sink, baking pans near the oven, saucepans and
skillets near the range, microwavable cookware near the microwave, and
rarely used appliances out of sight. If your problem is a small kitchen, you will want to
make the most of minimal storage space by being as inventive as
possible. Set up shelves where space permits, and invest in a spice
rack (be sure to hang it in a cool, dark place — not near the stove).
Attach hooks to the back of cabinet doors for pot holders and dish
towels. Purchase small kitchen appliances that can be suspended from
the bottom of cabinets. Try to avoid buying too many kitchen gadgets. A few basic pieces of
equipment, such as high-quality knives, can do the job of several
gadgets and take up much less space. |
