Think of the area formed by your sink, refrigerator, and oven or stovetop as the "magic triangle" of your kitchen. This triangle is sacred ground -- the focus of food preparation, cleanup, and serving. Anything that is central to your daily food preparation (pots, wooden spoons, food storage containers, everyday dishes, etc.) should be located in or on the sides of this triangle. Nothing else should be in that area. One step out of the triangle is stuff you use regularly but infrequently: toaster oven, Cuisinart, mixer, blender, specialty pots. One step further is stuff you seldom use: bread maker, turkey pan, Christmas cookie cutters. By organizing your kitchen in this way you will find yourself moving efficiently in the space with minimum movement for maximum return. By having important and frequently used items close, you save an enormous amount of time and energy in your kitchen.
