1) Never put any furniture inside the kitchen. Avoid putting table and chairs near the wall. Keep them away from the walls. Try to keep the distance between the counter top and the ceiling about 2 feet (60 cm).
2) Make sure that the sink is kept opposite to the cooking area. Do not keep the washing machine and refrigerator next to each other. They need to be maintained separately.
3) Kitchen cabinet should be made out of wood material only. Never make it out of steel or plastic materials.
4) Use glass material instead of stainless steel cutlery. Glass cutlery won’t rust easily and also they look very classy.
5) Always clean up your kitchen after every meal. Don’t leave food outside the kitchen. Cleaning utensils should always be washed properly before using.
6) When you cook something, add salt just before adding water. Adding salt directly when the dish is boiling will cause the taste of the food to change drastically.
7) Never throw garbage within the kitchen. Throw it outside the kitchen.
8) Never wash dishes while they’re still hot. Washing the dishes immediately after eating will spoil the flavour of the food. Wait until the dishes cool down completely before washing them.
9) Before starting the cleaning process, remove all the rubbish and dirt from around the kitchen. Remove dusts and cobwebs too. Wash the floor regularly.
10) Cooked food leftovers should be stored in an airtight container. Store them in a dry place.
11) A small amount of oil is used for frying purpose but never pour excess amount of oil over the stove. Let the oil remain in the pan till the flame goes off. Then take the pot off.
12) Sink should be filled with fresh cold water once in a week. Otherwise it might affect the health of the people living nearby.
13) Keep a regular check on the lights and fans. Replace the bulbs as soon as they go dim.
14) Avoid keeping large electrical appliances like fridge and microwave oven near the windows. These can create electromagnetic waves which could harm the health of the person residing nearby.
15) The best way to store fruits and vegetables is by keeping them in the refrigerator. Storing them in the pantry or the cupboard will reduce their quality.
16) Never use the same knife for cutting different kind of foods. Use separate knives for slicing and chopping.
