If you are remodeling your kitchen, and are stuck on remodeling ideas, then maybe you should turn to restaurant kitchens for inspiration. Such kitchens are designed to enhance safety and efficiency in the preparation of food. NV Kitchen and Bath has identified some of the practical ideas you can borrow from such commercial kitchens to enhance the efficiency of your own home kitchen.
- Raise your stove
If you move a stove from its usual position, you are bound to find a lot of dirt and food spillovers. A dirty kitchen will reflect on the quality of the food that you serve to others. To avoid this situation, most commercial stoves stand on short legs. This makes it easier for an individual to sweep under the stove completely. Adopting this tip in your home kitchen will ensure that the area under the stove is easier to clean.
- Control traffic
Most commercial kitchens have layouts designed to accommodate as much traffic as possible without causing accidents. Your home kitchen should be the same way especially if several members of the family participate in the cooking process. Easy movement around the kitchen is essential to avoid hitting one another particularly when one is carrying hot, sharp, or heavy items. When remodeling your kitchen, talk to your contractor about the various floor plans that can be used to control traffic and minimize accidents in the kitchen.
- Have an open kitchen plan
Majority of commercial kitchens have open shelves that allow the cooks to grab the necessary ingredients as quickly as possible. If you want to avoid messy cupboard drawers and doors because of sticky hands, then you should assimilate the open shelves into your kitchen. Not only is having open shelves convenient for you, but the shelves are a lot easier to clean than drawers and cupboards. You can also hang your frequently used utensils at a convenient place in order to reach them as quickly and as easily as possible.
