message: Here are some more things:
#I'm very confused by the timeline in "early history".  There are two sentences, one about monasteries and castles, that seem to say the same thing (that kitchens were in seperate buildings), but I can't tell if they're talking about the same time.  
#:I don't get it. I found one sentence beginning with "In castles and monasteries...". Where's the second sentence you mentioned? Lupo 10:39, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  more suggested improvements 

message: I've started to incorporate some info on developments outside Europe. For the time being, just about Japanese kitchens. I don't want to include everything from that article: that wouldn't make sense, as it is already (even though it is still growing rapidly) far more detailed. But I think it may well make sense to add some of that info, because I suspect we won't find dramatic differences for kitchens worldwide in that time period. Already, there are a few similarities between the development in Japan and in Europe... Lupo 13:15, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: There are but be careful how you phrase them.  You got mixed up on the difference between "kamado" and "irori" and it's fixed.  Irori uses a smaller fire sometimes using charcoal to make it safer.  A very poor people's home had only a kamado because you couldn't cook rice in a irori, not enough heat.

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project. --- The Bethling(Talk) 22:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA Re-Review and In-line citations 

message: Not in most houses this isn't.  Often there is a separete room called the 'laundry room' for the obvious reason.  Personally, I know 1 person with a washine machine in their kitchen, and even it is in a connected closet.  I believ it should be chang to:
"If a washine machine is present in a household, washing and drying laundry may be done in the kitchen, though many modern households now do their washing and drying laundry in a seperate room." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smartercookie (talk • contribs) 20:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Should there be a list of common kitchen appliances here, i.e. stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator?
*I don't think so. Most of these appliances are mentioned in the text, so no list is necessary. Lupo 21:45, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: i noticed that u have said some things that are making what you call the west look less advanced, for example you say the stove wasnt used in the west until the 18th century yet you talk about romans using a stove.   Also Rome had running water in the west way before industrialization.  It just seems like your saying the west was not very advanced and that would be only half true, alot was lost after rome fell but that dos not mean it never existed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevdev59 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  cultural slant 

message: Today, I have removed this image from this article, which has been in the article with a blatantly false description for 2 and a half years :
This, by no means is a "Japanese" kitchen. It, in fact, is a Dutch kitchen, as is evident from the brands of products that are present in the kitchen and from the fact that it was originally uploaded in 2004 by an editor of Dutch Wikipedia to accompany the Dutch article on kitchens (without any claims that it would be Japanese) . It is nothing less than a disgrace that such an image description survived for this long.

message: A photo or map of a reform, unit, or fitted kitchen would be very helpful to show the differences with what came before and after. -- Beland (talk) 14:38, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Why is Vietnamese_kitchen.jpg here with the embarrassing caption "Kitchen in Vietnam before a lunch"? If it's supposed to illustrate the merging of dining and kitchen furniture/appliances within a cramped space, e.g. in a small condominium unit, the picture is supposed to be alongside a part of the article treating of that modern issue (if there is) and be universalist as well (instead of implying it's a case unique to Vietnam). Right? :) -- Bagoto (talk) 23:35, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Vastu Shastra dictates that the kitchen should be in the south-east part of the home as the lord of ‘Agni’ (Fire) prevails in south-east direction. The second-best option for harmony at home is a  north-west location. The stove should be placed in the south-east part of the kitchen for the cook to face east while cooking.
East quadrant is considered an auspicious location for the kitchen. In diagonal plots, the north quadrant location can pose threats to female members. West quadrant gives average results for kitchen,  provided the kitchen is not over or under the prayer room, bathroom or bedroom. Hitesh ishwardas (talk) 13:14, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
