As a rule kitchens must allow for the following types of
work: Cleaning, preparation and blending of food, cooking on a hob or in the
oven, and subsequent cleaning/washing-up. The most important workstations in
the kitchen are:
The
washing-up area
The food preparation area
The
cooking area
Each workstation must have storage facilities to ensure
rapid and simple access to food and utensils.
The food preparation centre is usually located between the
sink and the hob for easy access to cleaning and food preparation.
The sequence - washing-up, preparation, cooking areas - can
be reversed. On the following pages we describe three workstations and how
they are related.
