The Kitchen Triangle - How Important?
Do you remember years ago in your mother's tiny kitchen, she seemed to be able to pull off cooking for a huge crowd, and without too much trouble! She could cook for a small crowd of 8 (the family), or she could pull off a dinner party for 30 with equal ease. The kitchen was always the smallest room in the house, practically, but always functioned well, due to the placement of all of the main appliances. This is home design at its best.
The main appliances were, of course, the refrigerator, the stove, and the sink. The distance in good home design could always be measured in feet, not yards. There were no huge granite counter topped islands to get in the way, There were no dishwashers, microwaves, etc. Nothing fancy, but boy, could my mother cook!
There also always was a window central to the kitchen to let in sunshine, fresh air, and the noises from children playing in the backyard. It was easy to cook and converse with this home design with the family, whether in or out, and something yummy always made its way out of the tiny kitchen.
The most important thing, ALWAYS, in our mother's kitchens and in a good design today, is the famous triangle, and close proximity of each of these crucial appliances.
