Zone Cooking

A kitchen layout philosophy that groups cabinetry, appliances, and storage around specific cooking activities — such as a prep zone near the sink and cutting board storage, a baking zone near the oven with tray dividers and mixer storage, and a beverage zone with a coffee station and glassware. Zone cooking moves beyond the traditional work triangle to create multiple efficient workstations, ideal for large kitchens where multiple people cook simultaneously.
