d. Presentation of the Lesson
“Who among you loves food?” “sir, I love foods. Food is life.”

Maybe five years from now this is my own
kitchen.”
(Presenting my dream kitchen)

“I want G-shaped kitchen because it is ideal for

larger families needing extra storage and
plenty of counter and cabinet space.”

“In our lesson, we will discuss the different

kitchen symbols and layout for you to have an
idea in your dream kitchen and to appreciate
the importance of knowing the kitchen symbols
and layout.”

“In this lesson we have three objectives, who “sir!”

can read the first objective?”

“Yes marichu” “Identify the different kitchen symbols and layout.”

“What about the second objective, who can “sir!”

read?”

“Yes ej” “Show understanding in the different kitchen

symbols and layout.”

“connie please read the last objectives.” “Create kitchen design using kitchen symbols and
layout.”

“These are the goals in our lesson that we

should meet after our discussion.”

e. Discussion
“Let us first define some important terms, who “sir!”
can read the meaning of work centers?”

“Yes EJ” “Work Centers – focused around major appliances

– refrigerator-freezer, range, or sink. These
centers make possible an orderly flow of activities
connected with food storage, preparation, cooking

“Correct! The gas range has an oven below

and at the top is stove, it uses natural gas as a
fuel source. The major appliances like
refrigerator-freezer, range, or sink are called
work centers.

“The next is work flow. Who can read?” “sir!”

“Yes Princess” “Work Flow – where work is done most efficiently

when it flows in a natural progression, either from
left to right or right to left.”

“For example you are done washing the

vegetables and you’re going to cook it, it is

most efficiently when it flows in a natural
progression.”

“Work Simplification who can read?” “sir!”

“Yes Divine” “Work Simplification – means doing the job in the

easiest, simplest and quickest way.”

“For example instead of using knife to peel the

potato you used peeler. It is easy to peel using

where a particular kind of food is produced or a
specific job is done.”

“The kitchen is an example of work station, the

area where you can prepare and cook foods.”

“The last we have work triangle, who can

read?” “sir!”

4
“Yes lea” “Work Triangle – an imaginary line drawn from
each of the three primary work stations in the
kitchen, and avoid traffic flow problems.”

“What is the meaning of an imaginary line? “sir!”

Please raise your hand if you know the
answer.”

“Yes mae Ann” “Imaginary line is cannot be seen by our eyes, we

just assume that it is exist.”

“Very good! They are line which does not exist

visibly, that’s why they are called imaginary.”

“Okay class; now let’s proceed to the kitchen (The answer of students may vary)

Now class lets proceed to our next topic which
is kitchen layout. Understanding the basic
kitchen layout. Who can read the paragraph?”
“Yes John Patrick.”
“It says that to help avoid traffic flow problems,
work triangles should have a perimeter that
measures less than 26 feet. It means that the
sum of all three sides should not exceed 26
feet. For example, class look at the picture.”
The sign (‘) is called feet. In the two side of
triangle it both has 4 feet to 7 feet, 7 feet is the
“Ma’am!”
“Understanding the basic principles of kitchen
layout will help take much of the mystery out of the
design process. One of the most basic layout
principles is the work triangle. The work triangle is
an imaginary line drawn from each of the three
primary work stations in the kitchen - the food
storage, preparation/cooking, and clean-up
stations. By drawing these lines, you can assess
the distance required to move to and from each
area and thus determine how well the traffic will
flow. To help avoid traffic flow problems, work
triangles should have a perimeter that measures
less than 26 feet.”
10
maximum and in the third side of the triangle it
has 4 feet to 9 feet the maximum is 9 feet. In
our example the maximum of the three sides
are, 7, 7 and 9. 7+7+9 is equal to?”
“Yes Clyde”
“Correct! In the work triangle to avoid traffic
flow problems it should have a perimeter that
measure less than 26 feet.”
“Let’s proceed to the three primary kitchen
work stations which create the work triangle.
These are the food storage station,
preparation/cooking station and the clean-up
station. Who can read the meaning of food
storage station?”
“Yes Andrie”
“How about the preparation/cooking station,
who can read?”
“Yes May”
“The third work station that completes the work
triangle is the clean-up station, who can read
the meaning of clean-up station?”
“Yes Ashley”
“ sir!”
“7+7+9=23”
“sir!”
“The food storage station - Your refrigerator and
pantry are the major items here. Cabinetry like lazy
susan or swing-out pantry units adds function and
convenience. Options like wine racks, spice racks,
and roll-out trays help to organize your groceries.”
“ sir!”
“The preparation/cooking station - Your range,
oven, microwave, and smaller appliances are
found in this area. Counter space is important in
this section. Conserve space by moving
appliances off the counter with appliance garage
cabinets and space-saving ideas like towel rods
and pot lid racks.”
“ sir!”
“The clean-up station - Everyone's least favorite
activity is one of the kitchen's most important -
clean-up. This area is home to the sink, waste
disposal, and dishwasher. Cabinetry for this station
is designed to organize with the trash bin cabinet
and rollout tray baskets for storage convenience.”

three sides? What do you call it?

“Very good!”

“DETERMINING YOUR KITCHEN’S LAYOUT

Since the kitchen is one of the most active
work areas of the home, it is important to select
the right layout to complement your lifestyle
and taste. There are five primary kitchen layout
shapes - the U-Shaped, L-Shaped, Island, G-
Shaped, Corridor/Galley, and Single Wall
shapes. After learning about the work triangle
in the section "Understanding Basic Kitchen
Layout," you will now see how the work triangle
functions in each layout and the advantages
each layout offers.”

“First we discuss the u-shaped kitchen. Who “ sir!”

can read the meaning of it?”

“Yes Christine Joy” “The U-Shaped Kitchen - Named for the "U" shape
it resembles, this kitchen is popular in large and
small homes alike.”

12
“This is the example of U-shaped kitchen.”

“The U-shaped kitchen is also:

 Perfect for families who use their kitchens a
great deal
 Provides plenty of counter space
 Efficient work triangle
 Can convert one cabinet leg into a breakfast
bar.

“This is the layout of U-shaped kitchen. Look at

the picture class.”

“Who can read the L-shaped kitchen?” “ sir!”

“Yes Rennan” “The L-Shaped Kitchen - This kitchen shape is one

of the most flexible and most popular, providing a
compact triangle.

“This is the example of L-shaped kitchen.”

13
“The L-shaped kitchen are also:
 Very flexible layout design
 Major appliances can be placed in a variety
of areas
 Work areas are close to each other
 Can easily convert to a U-Shape with a
cabinet leg addition

“This is the layout of L-shaped kitchen.”

“What about the island option kitchen. Who can

read?” “ sir!”

“Yes Maxene” “The Island Option. Islands are extremely popular

in homes today and are most often seen in L-
Shaped kitchens. Islands can not only keep work
areas traffic-free, but also create a wealth of extra
counter and storage space. An island can be an
indispensable food preparation station or act as a
butcher block area. The island is also an ideal
place to add an extra sink or an island grill.”

“This is the example of island option kitchen.”

14
“This is the layout of island option kitchen.
Look at the picture.”

‘Next is the G-shaped kitchen. Princess please

read the meaning of G-shaped kitchen.”

“The G-Shaped Kitchen - Built very much like the

U-Shaped with the addition of an elongated partial
wall, the G-Shaped kitchen offers a great deal of
“This is the example of G-shaped kitchen.” space.”

“The G-shape kitchen is also:

 Ideal for larger families needing extra storage
space
 Plenty of counter and cabinet space
 Multiple cooks can function well in this layout
 Can convert one cabinet leg into a breakfast
bar or entertaining area.

“This is the layout for G-shaped kitchen. Class

look at the picture.”

“The last kitchen layout is the corridor/gallery

kitchen. Divine please read.”

15

“This is the example of corridor/galley kitchen.”
“This is the layout of corridor/gallery kitchen.”
“The Corridor/Galley Kitchen - This style kitchen
makes the most out of a smaller space.
 Great for smaller kitchens
 Appliances are close to one another
 Easy for one cook to maneuver
 Can easily convert to a U-Shape by closing off
one end
