Is it good to design an open kitchen?

1. The open kitchen can make full use of the space. Using the wall of the space between the base cabinet and the wall cabinet, install shelves, place the microwave oven of the sterilization cabinet or install shelves, hooks, cups, spice bottles, shovels, spoons, etc., so as to avoid them occupying the countertop.

2. The open kitchen can be within reach. The limited space in the kitchenette means that these items can only be kept inside the cupboards, which is very cumbersome to access. You may wish to use a small trolley with a cabinet to solve this problem, set the tablet on the top of the trolley, make a temporary operating table, and push it back into the cabinet after use.

3. According to the characteristics of the small kitchen, the designer nailed hooks and hanging rods on the cabinet door panel to hang items. There are also some home appliances, such as rice cookers, microwave ovens, ovens, etc., which can also be built into cabinets.

Open kitchen advantages:

1. The open kitchen can make full use of the space, and the small apartment will save more space.

2. Beautiful, more open space and open vision: as soon as you enter the house, it is very comfortable at a glance;

3. Convenience of life: the living room and kitchen are connected into a whole area, which is convenient for doing anything;

4. The air conditioning in the living room can also be blown into the kitchen, and the comfort will be greatly improved;

5. It is convenient for people to communicate with each other.

Open kitchen cons:

1. There is a lot of oil smoke, which is not easy to clean;

2. The taste is heavy, and when cooking, it is easy to smell all the food in the whole house;

3. The noise is very loud, but all the stir-fried dishes, the sound of cooking is very noisy;

4. The clutter in the kitchen is very obvious;

5. Water vapor during cooking can easily damage the household appliances in the living room.

The reason why there is a lot of controversy in open kitchens is that the oil smoke in open kitchens is easy to spread to other spaces. Parents who often deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt think that a closed kitchen is a little more practical. But for young people, a stylish open kitchen is more attractive.

Because the open kitchen connects the kitchen, dining room, living room and other spaces, expanding the visual space. Especially for small kitchens, the open decoration makes the kitchen not look crowded. Da Mei thinks that it actually solves the problem of oil smoke and space, and the open kitchen is good.

So how to fix it? Listen to Da Mei's advice.

First, the problem of oil smoke - try to minimize indoor oil smoke.

1. The choice of range hood.

Choose a deep hood type Chinese range hood: Some shallow hood European range hoods on the market are beautiful and generous, but the smoke extraction rate only reaches about 40%. The deep hood type Chinese range hood has a smoke extraction rate of 50-60%.

If you choose an open kitchen, Damei recommends choosing a Chinese-style range hood.

The greater the power of the range hood motor: the power of the motor determines the suction power of the range hood, the motor power of the range hood on the market is generally between 180-220W, generally speaking, the greater the motor power, the better the smoking effect.

The effect of the downward suction range hood is better: its smoking effect is relatively good, and it can solve the problem of indoor oil smoke faster and more thoroughly, and the oil smoke can be taken away before it escapes out of the stove. But the better ones cost tens of thousands of yuan.

2. The kitchen should be well ventilated.

It is best to have a window in an open kitchen, and ventilation can reduce the smell of oil smoke in the room.

3. Choose easy-to-clean materials and cooking utensils.

The walls and floors of the dining room and living room should be made of the same easy-to-clean materials as the kitchen, and the floors should be preferably made of floor tiles, laminate flooring and other materials. Stoves in open kitchens should consider choosing kitchen utensils that do not produce too much fumes, and smokeless cookers such as microwave ovens, induction cookers, and smokeless pots are the best choice.

4. Change your cooking habits.

According to our national conditions in China, frying and frying like to put a lot of oil to cook, in fact, this is not conducive to health. When stir-frying, it is best not to have an open flame in the pot, and do not wait for the oil to smoke before starting to put the vegetables. Families with a more Western diet are suitable for open kitchens.

Da Mei likes to eat Western food very much, and it is convenient to cook it at home, much faster than stir-frying Chinese food.
