It has often been said that the heart of the home is the kitchen. If that is really true, then why is it that some kitchen designs just don�t seem to support more than one cook or guest at a time? You can turn your kitchen into a functional and beautiful workspace and gathering place for the entire family. Even if you have limited square footage, there just may be more room for expansion, storage, and oh yeah, cooking in your kitchen than you think.
1810: Francois Appert wins prize for developing practical canning process.1866: America's first refrigerated railroad car is built in Detroit.1812: British sailors eating canned soups and meat.10 If you have one of those refrigerators with a drip pan underneath the cooling element, make sure that this is cleared out and that it can drain freely. Pour a little vinegar (full strength, not diluted) into this to deal with any mould. Yes, mould can grow inside a fridge, albeit more slowly than in a warmer spot.1874: H. Solomon introduces pressure-cooking methods for canning foods.1805: First important shipment of ice from New England is made by Frederick Tudor.1856: Gail Borden receives patent for condensed milk process.1897: American Sugar Company is formed.1834: Jacob Perkins invents first mechanical refrigerator.
The finishing touches are what make kitchen designs more inviting than ever. The furnishings, light fixtures and even the cabinet hardware can make kitchens into real living rooms. Look for task lighting that can highlight work spaces and then radiant lighting for atmosphere. You can even turn the legs of old furniture or newel posts into bases for centre islands to make you kitchen furnishings blend with the rest of the house. Get creative and enjoy doing much more than cooking in your new kitchen.
