KITCHEN PREP ZONES
Since the kitchen is considered the heart of the home, it should come as no surprise that we spend nearly seventy percent of our time there. Everyone loves the kitchen, especially since there are so many delicious things created in this space, like sweets and comfort foods. With so much traffic, however, and everyone doing something different, things can get tight as so many are trying different tasks. That’s where kitchen prep zones can help out. Learn more about a kitchen prep zone and how it can benefit you in your home.
What are kitchen prep zones?
These are designated areas in the kitchen that serve a unique purpose or function. Because everything you need is right there, it saves time and allows several people to do multiple tasks in the kitchen. The main goal is to create multiple zones within a layout while creating a unified space. Read what Houzz has to say about kitchen prep zones.
Baking
Is there a baker in the family? Someone who loves to delight everyone with amazing desserts? A bake zone can help create a unique space in the kitchen that provides all that is needed in one area. Pans, mixing bowls, baking supplies, and appliances are all neatly within easy reach. Designing a custom baking space eliminates the usual kitchen run-ins and results in sweet treats being made with less complication.
Cooking
Tired of running all over your kitchen to find the supplies you need to make a meal for the family? A cooking zone could eliminate wasted time by bringing it all together. Create a space where the spices, cooking pans and utensils, and serving bowls are all in the same area. Less time spent gathering all the needed items for dinner means dinner will be served faster, meaning you can be with the family longer.
Specialty zones
Sometimes, what is needed is a specialty zone that cannot be contaminated by other items or be cooked with certain foods. Kosher kitchens have strict requirements regarding food preparation; for instance, meat and dairy products must be kept and prepared separately. Having two sinks, two ovens, and two sets of dishes is also customary. By having zones dedicated to each group, there will be no contamination, and each is stocked with the needed prep items.
