There are two groups Of YORK IN

Of the equipment is absolutely

kitchen, large or small. II will
prevent such errors as ever plac-

entirely wrong location, because
we never work from a sink to a
stove, but always from stove to
a table or vice versa. The second
fundamental rule is to group re-
lated equipment together. This
means that every article. tool or
utensll used at a certain place
should be permanently located "a

and pots placed near the stove:
bowls and beaters and mixing tools

appliances, of course. near the
sink: the idea can be carried out
so as to even place the coffee sup
