Food for Today ©2010Chapter 21: Equipping the KitchenChapter SummaryA well-designed kitchen is organized for efficiency and promotes good work flow. Work centers and universal design make kitchens easy to use. Kitchen components must withstand heat, moisture, and food. Ample cabinets and countertops, durable floors and walls, safe electrical systems, and good lighting are important. Before buying items for the kitchen, consider needs, prioritize features, and conduct research. Shop critically, pay carefully, and protect your purchase. Appliances, including ranges, refrigerators, and dishwashers, help you prepare food and clean up. Preparation tools and equipment, including cookware, bakeware, and utensils, help with cooking and serving. |  |
