The kitchen is the base camp for every family to eat three meals a day, from food storage, washing and cutting vegetables, cooking and cooking to washing dishes and brushing pots. There is also a key design detail in the kitchen-the height of the console. After all, it may take 1-2 hours from the whole process of washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking and washing dishes. If the height of the console is not humanized, it will be more uncomfortable to cook. Below, let's talk about the design details of the height of the cabinet console!

▲ Although the kitchen is small, it has three meals a day.

1. Influence of the height of the console

Generally speaking, the height of the console is about 811-911mm, but if you want to cook more easily and comfortably, the specific height will vary from person to person. Let's talk about the influence on our daily cooking if the height of the console is unreasonable!

① The operating table is too low-hunched over

If the height of the operating table in the kitchen cabinet is too low, you will need to hunch over when cooking in the kitchen, especially for those with large family members, and the height of the sink and the vegetable cutting area, so you must design it reasonably to avoid hunching over when washing dishes and cutting vegetables, which will be very uncomfortable.

▲ it is uncomfortable to bend over.

② The operating table is too high-if the operating table of the cooking rack is too high, it is necessary to start cooking, cooking and cutting vegetables. In this case, it is basically impossible to upset the pot, and it is good to have sour hands after frying vegetables! Especially in the case of short family members, the console should never be high!

▲ It's hard to stir-fry tea by hand.

2. Table top-chopping vegetables

The table top of the operation desk is mainly used when chopping vegetables. Here, the height reference is-put the chopping board on the table top, stand straight in front of the table, and bend your hands slightly when chopping vegetables, so that you can make it strong without bending over. Prevent it from being too high or too low. If it is too high, the water for cutting vegetables on the countertop is weak. If it is too low, you should bend over to cut vegetables.

▲ About this posture, your hands are comfortable and you can use your strength, and it is not difficult to cut vegetables. 3. sink-washing vegetables and washing dishes

the sink is used when washing dishes and using water. The height reference here is the posture of putting your hand in the sink to wash dishes. At this time, if you don't need to bend your waist and just stand up straight, it is a more suitable height size. Because the sink is installed under the countertop, the height of the sink is mainly to prevent it from being too low. If the sink is too low, I hope everyone will hunch over, which is very uncomfortable! If you pass a little over the sink, the washing action will be exposed outside the sink, and it will be easy to splash water on the operating table.

▲ The proper height is to wash dishes without bending over or splashing water.

4. Stove-cooking

The stove area of cooking is mainly used when cooking. The height reference here is that the pot is placed on the stove, people stand straight in front of the stove, and the height of the spatula held flat with their hands relaxed is even or slightly higher than the height of the pot edge, so that cooking does not need to be carried. Cooking stove area, mainly to avoid too high, too high stove, when frying tea, the pot is higher than the hand, it will be very uncomfortable.

▲ In a natural and comfortable state, hold the spatula flat, and the spatula is flat on the edge of the pot.

5. High and low worktables

Because the heights of cutting vegetables, frying vegetables and washing vegetables are inconsistent, in order to improve the practicability of the worktables, the worktables in the kitchen with humanized design will be designed with high and low tables! The sink is embedded under the console table, so the height of the table in the sink area is slightly higher; However, the cooktop is mounted on the countertop of the console, so the height of the countertop in the cooktop area is slightly lower.

▲ The high-low console is a very reasonable design.

6. Consideration of embedded appliances

Because there will be embedded appliances such as disinfection cabinets, dishwashers and steaming boxes in the kitchen, if the embedded appliances are large in height, the installation of appliances under the kitchen should be considered for the height of the cabinet console.

▲ The installation height of embedded appliances should also be considered. With regard to the height of kitchen cabinets, the above are some points I have summarized. When decorating, you can make a more suitable height design for your console according to your height habits with your family.
