Do Everyone Should Know About Kitchen Work Triangle

Best Way To Design Your Kitchen

When refurbishing your kitchen or building a new one it becomes difficult to arrange all the design ideas. So there is a thumb rule that is called a work triangle kitchen. This concept is made 90 years before and it still drives today. It was designed to minimize the efforts that cook take in the kitchen.

The kitchen triangle solves the problem which occurs during cooking that is workflow, Ergonomics, and Functionality. But is the work triangle of the kitchen is still relevant today?

Modern Style Kitchen 


Where Did It Originate?

Gilbreth 's Kitchen Practical was launched at a Women's Exposition in 1929,                                          based on Gilbreth 's

motion saving work. Gilbreth referred to the L-shaped configuration as the "circular routing" that later came to be called the triangle of kitchen work.

In the 1940s a particular model was created to tackle the efficiency of the cooking room between the main workplaces: cooking (range), preparation (sink/dishwasher), and food storage (refrigerator).


What Is the Kitchen Work Triangle?

 Placement of the sink, the cooktop, and the refrigerator. Theoretically, when all three things are close together (but not too close together), the kitchen will be easy to use and the cook won't have to take a lot of unnecessary moves.

There are exceptions to this rule: in single-wall kitchens, it is geometrically difficult to achieve a true triangle but flexibility can also be accomplished by the arrangement of the three objects. 

Application For Work Triangle

  • From one point to another point space shall be less than 4 ft or more than 9 ft.
  •        Between three-point space should be between 12 ft to 27 ft.
  •      No major traffic movements will cross the triangle.

There is no space limitation, Just remember these are only recommendations if you want to follow your rules you can but workflow can be affected by the difference.

 

Today our kitchens are huge, with more than one cook in many families. Additionally, today our kitchens have a broader variety of functions than just cooking. These are also where we enjoy a meal, we have entertainment and we work too. Modern kitchen designers therefore do not design kitchens exclusively around the working triangle approach but have followed a working zone approach.

If you are about to redesign your kitchen layout or start from scratch, thinking about the triangle of work and applying its concepts will help you design the perfect layout for the different areas.

Remember how you'll be using the kitchen:

  •        How much space do you need to cook food?
  •       How much space did you need while washing utensils near the sink?
  •        Where do you have a counter table for breakfasts?
  •       Will, there be a place for children to work?
  •      Can people work in the kitchen at the same time with various tasks that they want?

Ensuring that your kitchen is built with these things in mind helps you to make the best possible use of the available space.

 

Contemporary Style Kitchen


Consider the following suggestions when thinking about how to set out your kitchen which will make it easier to cook in your kitchen:

  •        Make sure your refrigerator isn't too far from the workstation or food storage area so you can easily get to the ingredients and don't bring them up and down the kitchen.
  •      To make washing after meals simpler, keep the sink, bin, and dishwasher close to each other, following the triangle theory once again but on a smaller scale.
  •       Avoid obstructions within the work triangle, ensuring that islands, dining tables, or full-height cabinets do not prevent you from moving around the triangle when cooking.
  •      Make sure you have plenty of kitchen platform space for chopping and cutting ingredients near the stove, so it's easier to add ingredients to your dishes without dropping them to the floor.
  •      Think about where your pans and utensils are going to be stored- ideally, they’ll be near your stove, so you can get at them quickly.


Conclusion

The kitchen work triangle is still valid & I am sure you have got the importance of the kitchen working triangle and keep in mind that a well-thought kitchen becomes more multi-functional. Do follow these steps when you are making a new kitchen or modifying the kitchen. You should always design a space according to your favorite style.
