  1. Kitchen Organization & Appliances

  2. Major cooking appliances • Cooktop—also called a range. May be gas or electric, some are smooth top. • Broiler—lets you cook food by direct heat from above. • Refrigerator/freezer— Stores perishable food

  3. Types of Ovens • Conventional oven—air is heated by gas or electricity. The hot air circulates and cooks the food • Convection oven—works like a conventional oven, except a fan circulates the heated air. It cooks more quickly and more even than a conventional oven.

  4. Microwave ovens • uses microwaves to heat the molecules of the food through friction. • It uses less energy and cooks more quickly than other ovens and doesn’t heat up the house as much as other ovens do. • Only use microwave safe containers in a microwave • Others can cause fires or melt during cooking and are not good for your health

  5. Small cooking appliances • Things that use gas or electricity to help prepare food • Examples include toasters, electric skillet, slow cooker, breadmaker, food processor, blender, mixer • Often, these can use less energy to accomplish the task

  6. Organizing the kitchen • Work centers—areas of the kitchen devoted to specific tasks • The three basic work centers are the cold storage center (fridge), cooking center (range), and cleanup center (sink) • Work triangle—imaginary lines that connect the three basic work centers. • Work triangles considered to be efficient include those smaller than 22 feet and those with no trafficways running through them

  7. Kitchen storage • The idea is to store items in the work center where you will use them • With your kitchen group, make a list now of three things you would store in each center • Cold storage center • Cooking center • Clean up center
