WORK TRIANGLE
The work triangle is an imaginary line
drawn from each of the three primary
work stations in the kitchen - the food
storage, preparation/cooking, and clean-
up stations. By that we should know the
flow of the kitchen task for us to easily
move and prepared anything you want.
 THREE PRIMARY WORK STATION
1. The food storage station -
Your refrigerator and pantry are
the major items here.

2. The preparation/cooking station -

Your range, oven, microwave, and
smaller appliances are found in this
area. Counter space is important in this
section.
3. The clean-up station - Everyone's least
favorite activity is one of the kitchen's
most important - clean-up. This area is
home to the sink, waste disposal, and
dishwasher.
Since the kitchen is one of the most active
work areas of the home, it is important to
select right layout to complement your
lifestyle and taste.
