Why Custom Kitchen Cabinets Make Meal Prep Easier
You might be so used to your dysfunctional kitchen cabinetry, you are no longer aware of the problems it causes you. However, the number, size, shape and placement of your kitchen cabinets can have a big impact on how easy it is to use your kitchen and to prep meals.
Below we’ve listed common problems encountered with kitchen cabinetry. You may recognise some of these from you own kitchen:
- Insufficient cabinet storage space – this is a common problem, resulting in cabinets ending up so cluttered that you simply don’t dare enter them. Sure you have a casserole dish but it’s waaaay in back there, jammed behind everything else making a casserole off the menu!
- Tiny cabinetry – particularly if you have an older kitchen, you may suffer from a surfeit of pokey little cabinets which can’t easily fit larger items like four-slot toasters, large baking dishes, slow cookers etc. This means you’re forced to store these items on your benchtops, clogging up vital food prep space and turning cooking time into a game of Tetris!
- Insufficient mid-level cabinetry space to store large, heavy items – this means you potentially have to crouch down to extract heavy serving platters, pans, or electrical items or, you’re dealing with the weight of heavy items above shoulder height.
- Poorly placed kitchen cabinets – if every time your someone is stacking the dishwasher, you can’t access a vital kitchen cabinet, that fits the definition of a poorly placed cabinet! If there aren’t any kitchen cabinets located above and around your main food prep area, so you can easily access common ingredients and frequently used kitchen items, again that’s a sign your cabinets were poorly placed.
