The following is to analyze the design concept of kitchen utensils storage according to the objects that need to be stored.
1 Classification of heavyweight pots and pans
◎ Storage location and form: drawers under kitchen utensils, corner rotating cabinets (arc rotating monster hardware), and open shelves.
The common stews and stir-fried dishes at home are big and heavy, so it is best to put them in the lower cabinet area of the kitchen utensils storage system. Because the vertical distance is the shortest, the operation is smooth and the working time is saved. In addition, the pot with low utilization rate can make full use of passive lines, such as the corners of kitchen utensils. Some drawers, the details are spread out or the gaps are dug to facilitate the storage of the lid; There is also an open shelf under the countertop for pots and pans to be put together for ventilation and drying.
Category 2 Various spatulas and cooking utensils.
◎ Storage location and form: hanging rod, clothes rack and table storage compartment on the middle wall of kitchen utensils.
Using the hook or horizontal suspender in the middle wall, you can arrange to hang spatula, spoon, paper towel, aluminum foil paper or plastic wrap of different sizes, which is more convenient to take in line. The design of the wall hanging rack has more diversified storage directions, including the advantages of fixed menu placement, convenient page turning, draining of the chopping board, and storage of condiments in bottles and jars. In addition, a 20cm deep storage compartment, a small chopping board, a filter tray, a seasoning box, etc. are added to the inner side of the kitchen countertop. Can be placed in combination as required.
Classification 3 Dishes and cutlery made of fragile materials
◎ Storage location and form: lower cabinet drawer, upper hanging cabinet and outdoor deck.
The arrangement of tableware is more flexible, which is suitable for both upper and lower cabinets. However, it is still recommended to store porcelain materials or large plates and bowls in the kitchen cabinet to avoid the danger of breaking due to unstable handling. In addition, the drawer has a larger capacity and can be fixed by freely adjusting the movable round stick jack in the cabinet according to different tableware shapes and sizes.
On the other hand, as the styles of tableware and cups are more and more designed, we might as well put them in the hanging cabinet above, with open laminated plates or transparent kitchen door parts, so as to achieve the aesthetic function of both storage and display collection, and increase the visibility and design texture of the kitchen.
Classification 4 high-risk knives and tableware
◎ Storage location and form: The tool box is stored at the bottom of the desktop, the middle wall hanger and the first drawer under the desktop.
Kitchen knife sets with various functions are necessary tools for every kitchen, especially because of the danger of use, which requires special attention to the safety of storage; It is usually divided into special drawers and countertops, hidden wall tool holder boxes, and sometimes a chopping board storage rack is added to form a whole. Knives, forks, chopsticks, spoons and other dining utensils are put in separate storage boxes in drawers. Imported kitchen utensils will even tailor the detailed storage specifications for famous brand appliances, and adopt soft materials such as velvet to give the best protection to delicate food containers.
Category 5 desktop small household appliances
◎ Storage location and form: movable aluminum shutter or electric glass door table cabinet, sink basket and independent high cabinet.
There are always small appliances such as rice cookers, dishwashers, coffee makers, toasters, fruit and vegetable juicers in the kitchen. Because it involves the power planning of wires and pipes, it is generally placed on the kitchen table or cupboard with planned power outlets. Some kitchenware manufacturers will design a movable aluminum shutter door or electric glass door to shield household appliances, solve the problem of oil smoke pollution and pay attention to the overall sense of the kitchen.
The sixth category is rich and delicious fruits, vegetables and dry food.
◎ Storage location and form: upper deck, hanging cabinet, side rattan basket, open wine cabinet, corner rotating cabinet and high cabinet.
Fruits and vegetables that don't need to be placed in the refrigerator are placed in open cabinets and laminated plates as decoration. As for rural kitchen utensils, due to early design reasons, rattan baskets for placing fruits and vegetables are often planned. For canned food, biscuits, flour, alcohol and other dry food, the most suitable storage place is a large-capacity cabinet. Both laminated plates and metal baskets can be combined according to usage habits and decoration budget.
Classification 7 garbage kitchen garbage and cleaning tools
◎ Storage location and form: drawers and sink baskets under the sink or desktop.
Generally speaking, the place where garbage can be made is the kitchen, especially the popular open kitchen, which is more related to the hygiene of the whole home environment. In order to have a clean kitchen space, garbage disposal and garbage bin positioning are the key points. It is best to locate the trash can near the sink, and the space should not be too small. So the drawer under the kitchen sink is usually planned as a garbage sorting bucket, which can store plastic bags, bottles, cartons, peels, leaves and so on. Some manufacturers even directly arrange local countertops as garbage dumping entrances, and open the lid to discard garbage; If the budget is sufficient, we can consider the Japanese kitchen waste processor, which can decompose kitchen waste into organic matter and directly use it as planting soil, which is quite environmentally conscious.
As for the washing utensils to keep the kitchen clean, such as dishwashing liquid, sponge and steel brush, the physical principle that the whole moving line is smooth and easy to wet is emphasized. It is best to add a metal mesh basket in front of the sink, and shelves or side baskets can also be planned in the lower cupboard door. A tall cabinet with a large size can be used to place large cleaning tools such as mops, brooms, vacuum cleaners, buckets and household sundries.
