After living in our home for about 1.5 years, we have recently gotten into the groove of prepping and cooking our own meals to eat healthier and also satisfy our cravings! 👨🍳 However after 2 weeks of cooking we felt that we were moving around our kitchen constantly when cooking making it so disruptive and a drag to prep ingredients and cook them. 😩 Thus we decided to do a reorganisation to improve our efficiency and optimise our kitchen! Seeing how we placed our kitchen appliances previously, we prioritised our toaster at the central area of the countertop while having our dry pantry beside our water dispenser. 🤔 We initially thought this would be a good idea since we still had some space on the other end of the kitchen for prep work and could use the central space for toasting our bread and have ample space beside the dispenser for making our drinks. However it actually resulted in a lot of wasted space and made our cooking process even slower because we had to move around constantly without a smooth flow! 🏃🏻 Based on the sketch from the previous image we reorganised the kitchen quickly and tested the layout before finalising everything. So looking at the kitchen from afar this time, we thought that it felt cleaner and more spacious compared to before and after using it, we were glad we made the change! 😊 💡Tip: To make the entire cooking process smoother try to reduce your movement in the kitchen! Think about how you move about in the kitchen and adjust the positions of your kitchen appliances if you’re able to. With the central area of our countertop empty, we have more space for prep work and it also fit into the flow of movement within the kitchen as well! 👀 Taking ingredients from the fridge, we then move to the sink to wash them and then move them on the chopping board in the central area for prep and finally cooking them further down at the hob! 🍳 With the additional space, we are able to place our containers to store the ingredients to be used for cooking immediately or kept for future use, making it more convenient. Shoutout to these deli containers which we got from Shopee recently! 🙌🏻 They have been super useful for storing ingredients easily and one of their features is that the covers fit all sizes while each container can fit in each other, making storage of unused containers and covers easier and taking up minimal space in our cabinets. Highly recommend for those who love to cook or meal prep often, definitely saves on space! 🥒 We hope that you have enjoyed reading our post and maybe inspired you to take a second look and optimising your kitchen layout for your needs! ☺️ Do give us a follow on IG @2monkeyshouse for more content! 🏠
