The Kitchen Work Triangle
The Kitchen Work Triangle comprises three essential elements. These are the sink, the fridge, and the cooktop. In between each of them is an imaginary line that forms a triangle inside your kitchen.
For most of our kitchen preparations, we move between these three points whether we’re:
- Preparing our meals;
- Storing items in the fridge; or
- Washing the dishes
As such, they mustn’t be too near or too far from each other. There shouldn’t be anything that’s blocking the path between each point. The distance between each element should be between four feet and nine feet apart.
For example, you don’t want to carry a hot pan across the room to drain your pasta when you take it off the stove. It’s also wise for a water source to be nearby in case of any emergencies. Similarly, you don’t want to cross the whole room to get an ingredient when cooking.
