It is vital to the accessibility of a kitchen that food and utensils are placed close by the work stations where they will be used. There should be drawers, bins, shelves and table space for storage at each work station. |
| Storage Overview |

The ideal storage capacity How much storage space is needed depends on how many people the kitchen serves: up to 3 persons: 7800 mm shelves/drawers up to 6 persons: 10200 mm shelves/drawers Note: The efficient kitchen should preferably be designed without cupboards under the work tops in order to free up leg room. But this reduces storage area, so not all kitchens will comply with the above general recommendations. Storage next to the washing-up area The following should be stored near the sink: - Tableware and cutlery in daily use. - Waste containers, cleaning agents and utensils may be stored e.g. in a mobile storage unit. Dishes and utensils that are not used daily can sometimes be stored in a different room. Storage at the food preparation place The following should be stored close by: - Utensils, food and packaging, for example in an adjustable-height overhead cupboard. - Kitchen appliances in everyday use, e.g. on the work top or in available cupboard space. Storage by the hob The following should be stored here: - Cooking and baking utensils, etc, e.g. in a mobile storage unit. Storage in the refrigerator or freezer Chilled and frozen food go in the refrigerator, frost box or freezer. A freezer is ideal for anyone who cannot get out to buy groceries so often. |
