Pantry: Hide the kitchen's clutter

A working pantry hidden behind the main kitchen. It is not open to guests and contains a sink, dishwasher, small appliances, storage, and prep countertops; the material specifications are a step down, using durable and easy-to-clean stainless steel and laminate. The main kitchen can thus remain clean: nothing on the island, no visible appliances, and handle-less wooden cabinetry. There is a door between the two that can be closed. Avoid: having the main kitchen bear all the work functions, placing appliances and small appliances on the main kitchen countertop, making the working pantry open to guest traffic, using materials of the same grade in the working pantry as in the main kitchen.

一個藏在主廚房後面的工作間。它不對客人開放,裡面是水槽、洗碗機、小家電、儲藏與備料的檯面;材料的規格降一級,用耐用好清的不鏽鋼與美耐板。主廚房因此可以維持乾淨:中島上什麼都沒有、看不到電器、櫃體是無把手的木作。兩者之間是一道可以關起來的門。避免:讓主廚房承擔所有的工作機能、把電器與小家電放在主廚房的檯面上、讓備餐間對客人的動線開放、在備餐間使用與主廚房同等級的材料。
