Well organized Kitchen is more Efficient

The most efficient kitchens are organized in a triangle style, with the stove, refrigerator and sink arranged to form a triangle. The cabinet spaces and drawers nearest each should be planned according to their use and functionality to make your kitchen usefully

Having an efficient triangle design with proper distances between points minimizes the number o steps the cook must take between the three areas during meal preparation and cleanup. The most efficient setups are between four and nine feet between each point.

Typically, each of these focal points have a counter space for placing items. Try and keep these unobstructed. For example, the counter next to the refrigerator is handy for unloading groceries, so you do not have to hold the bag while removing items and the storage area is within arm's reach.

Cooking utensils should be stored closest to the stove so they are easy to access when you need them. Maximize your drawer efficiency with inserts to keep your tools organized. The stove area is where you are most likely to use pots, pans and spices, so also try and keep these close by.

The sink if most often an area that focuses on cleanup, making it a great location for trash receptacles. Pullout wastebaskets make cleaning up more efficient, as the garbage can is easier to access. Dish drainers should also be kept closest to the sink so freshly-washed plates do not drip onto the floor.
