Preparing a meal is an art. Superior ingredients, high-quality tools and equipment and an an organized work environment coalesce to produce a work of culinary art. Even the humble peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich becomes a handiwork when you have access to the right ingredients in a workspace that optimizes your abilities and minimizes the effort required.
Built-In Organization
A well-organized kitchen is a joy to work in. If you have to go hunting from one side of the stove to the other side of the refrigerator just to find a frying pan, things get stressful quickly. Having ample cupboard space makes kitchen organization necessary, but when cabinet space is at a minimum, kitchen organization becomes crucial. A well-organized kitchen includes creating an “efficiency triangle” where the refrigerator, the sink and stove are all within a few steps of each other.
Organizational Helpers
When time is of the essence, an organized kitchen can mean the difference between silky smooth gravy and a bowl of clumpy lumps. Organizers, such as canisters, utensil holders and spice racks can make whipping up a Baked Alaska a piece of cake.
Having “a place for everything and everything in its place” helps reduce stress in the kitchen.
