The kitchen is the hub of the home. In the kitchen, several activities take place, like unloading and storing food, dishwashing, cutting food, baking, grilling, dishing up food, table laying, eating, returning uneaten food to refrigerator, etc. However, in many cases the kitchen might become a place where other activities (apart from cooking and eating) will take place, like playing, discussing, doing homework, reading newspaper, etc.
The main activities can be categorized into three main categories (storing, cleaning, cooking). Each category is related to one of the three main appliances.
- the refrigerator,
- the sink
- the cooktop.
