In life, in order to keep the kitchen neat and beautiful, we usually put dishes, knives, cutting boards, etc. in the kitchen cabinets or hang them on the wall, which is unhygienic and easy to breed bacteria. How to place kitchen utensils is a science, and the following will introduce some of the knowledge in it.
Bacteria like warm and humid environments the most. In closed cabinets and dark corners, a large number of staphylococci, salmonella, Escherichia coli, etc. are multiplied, which can easily contaminate food and cause intestinal diseases and other discomforts. Therefore, various kitchen utensils should be kept in good hygiene. In addition to cleaning, the storage environment is also very important. The basic requirement is ventilation and dryness.
1. Dish rack for placing kitchen utensils in Feng Shui
Many families are accustomed to stacking washed bowls and plates together in the cabinets, which is not conducive to the ventilation and drying of the dishes. It is easy to accumulate water when the freshly washed dishes are stacked up, and the cabinets are closed and not ventilated, so it is difficult for the water to evaporate, which will naturally breed bacteria. Some people like to wipe the dishes with a dry rag after washing them, but there are many bacteria on the rag.
This seemingly "clean" approach is counterproductive. In addition, when the dishes are stacked together, the dirt at the bottom of the previous dish will all stick to the next dish, which is very unhygienic. It is actually very simple to keep the dishes dry and clean. Experts suggest that you can set up a dish rack next to the sink. After washing, put the dishes upright and the bowls upside down on the rack, and the dishes will soon be naturally dried, which is both convenient and hygienic.
2. Feng Shui of kitchen utensils placement: chopstick holders and knife holders should be breathable
Chopsticks have the most direct and frequent contact with the mouth, so they must be stored in a ventilated and dry place. Some people put the chopsticks in the cupboard after washing, or in an airtight plastic chopstick holder. These practices are not advisable. It is best to choose a chopstick holder made of stainless steel wire with good air permeability, and nail it to the wall or place it in a ventilated place, so that the water can be drained quickly. Some people are used to putting a piece of clean cloth on chopsticks to prevent dust. In fact, just rinse them with clean water before use. Covering them with cloth will hinder the dissipation of moisture. In addition, it is not advisable to put kitchen knives in unventilated drawers and knife holders. You should also choose knife holders with good air permeability.
3. Feng Shui of kitchen utensils placement: gas stove
1. Gas stove (ie: gas stove) is not against the wall: Many people like the island-style open kitchen, and even install the gas stove on the island. In this way, there is no gas stove against the wall, and the smoke will fly everywhere, causing poor indoor air.
2. The gas stove on the first floor is set on the gutter: Many residents on the first floor like to build a house behind the house and set the kitchen in the added space. Although it can increase the space of the house,
but it often causes the gas stove to be ballasted on the gutter.
3. The gas stove is placed under the beam: If the gas stove is placed under the beam, the cook will be weak and sickly, suffer from stiff shoulders and headaches all year round.
