In the West, a modern kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator and kitchen cabinets. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances. The main function of a kitchen is cooking or preparing food but it may also be used for dining and entertaining. HistoryThe evolution of the kitchen is linked to the invention of the cooking range or stove and the development of water infrastructure capable of supplying water to private homes. Until the 18th century, food was cooked over an open fire. Technical advances in heating food in the 18th and 19th centuries, changed the architecture of the kitchen. Before the advent of modern pipes, water was brought from an outdoor source such as wells, pumps or springs. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Should I spend the time and money on remodeling the kitchen? Q. I just bought my first little 2/1 starter condo. The place is pretty nice and spacious for 868 SqFt. Its in a great neighborhood. The living room is nice and the bathroom is descen but the kitchen is like a cave from hell. The kitchen is a boxed in 10x10 slum, pretty much the same as it was the day they completed it in 1987. Orange/yellow linoleum, old dark cabinets, beat up appliances and one dim light in the center. I have the money to put into remodeling the kitchen to be quite nice. New lighting, maple cabinets, granite countertops, stone floors and stainless steel appliances. Here in NorCal kitchens get the money on a resell. The dilemma is, do I want to sink that kind of money and effort into a place that will scare away "starte [cont.] Asked by California Street Cop - Fri May 25 14:08:49 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hello- I am a kitchen & bath designer but in a different geological area. I would suggest that you do what is called a "comp" (comparesion) of the houses around you. If they have granite tops and stainless appliances, go for it!!! If not, you are going to price yourself out of the neighborhood. You will never get your money back (it is projected that from the "get-go" you are only getting 86% at the time of the sale anyway) But on the flip side, you will sell your house much faster if you do remodel it. I would suggest keeping the price resanable by keeping the fixtures in the same location (e.g.: sink), doing a semi-custom line of cabinets and maybe splurging on granite. After all, you are going to live there for another 5 years! Answered by clemenscathy2003 - Fri May 25 14:24:10 2007 Can a Kitchen-aid replacement bowl be used in a JCPenney Cooks Stand Mixer? Q.

Q. We have a small kitchen and even after purchasing small appliances, will have to do this to make the best use of space. The stove is gas. We would place insulation between the two appliances and probably a wood barrier. Asked by Monica O - Thu Aug 16 15:25:07 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. You can, but it is a very bad idea. Your stove will heat your fridge, melting your freezer, and driving your electric bills through the roof because your fridge will have to run constantly. If you absolutely have to, I would consider putting some sort of insulator between them.
