Kitchens 101: The U-Shaped Kitchen

U Kitchen Layout and the Work Triangle in one image
THE U-SHAPED KITCHEN has all appliances and counter-tops laid out in the shape of the letter U, therefore the mom/chef is physically surrounded by the kitchen. Also, if space allows an island is often included in this kitchen.

In this layout the work triangle is easily executed, storage is at a premium and more than one person can be accommodated. The best deal for making a West Indian Sunday Lunch!


In my previous post I mentioned that the L shaped kitchen is the third most popular kitchen that I have seen in Trinidad, well the U is the most popular! Once space is tight most Trinis opt for the One Wall, but once space is not an issue the - U is the go-to layout.
