What Are the Three Zones for Storage in Your Kitchen?

All homeowners probably agree that they use their kitchens more than most of the other rooms in their homes other than the bathrooms. For this reason, this room should be set up properly, especially when it comes to storage. According to experts, there are three main areas or zones for storage in this room, namely the refrigerator zone, the stove zone and the sink zone. You should store different things in each area to ensure that your kitchen is efficient. We provide you with further details on each zone in the following facts.

1. Refrigerator Zone

A refrigerator plays a major role in food storage for perishables that require cool or freezing temperatures. To maximise the functionality of its zone, you should install a benchtop and a pantry next to or across from it. This way you will be able to easily place your refrigerated goods away along with your other food supplies that go in the pantry. Also, your pantry needs to be a minimum of 500 cubic cm whenever possible to accommodate all your dry goods. On top of all of this, you should store your food preparation supplies, such as measuring spoons, graters and mixing bowls, in this zone.

2. Sink Zone

According to the explanation of the kitchen work triangle here you should locate the sink in between the refrigerator and the range or stove. After all the sink receives constant traffic at times, during food preparation, cleanup and hand washings. In this area, you should store your dinnerware, flatware and silverware for ease of cleaning. With sharp knives and chopping blocks halfway in between the sink and the refrigerator.

3. The Range or Stove Zone

The stove or range zone is the third storage zone in the kitchen. In this area, you will need to install all your cooking equipment including cook tops, toasters, ovens and microwave. Also, you should store your pans, pots, baking sheets, cake pans, cooking utensils and spices in this zone with the most frequently used ones up front for easy access. Oh, do not forget to place your hot pads and trivets in this area.
