What is the difference between Chinese and Western kitchens?

Life in the kitchen this new concept of home life is increasingly popular. And from the European Western-style overall kitchen with its scientific and reasonable configuration, sophisticated appearance won the favor of some Guangzhou housewives. But the western style, large to the kitchen layout to the stove tableware selection is still more in line with the western kitchen habits. Whether Chinese people can adapt to this new kitchen environment? Now on the Western-style kitchen for an all-round demystification. The concept of the whole kitchen in the past two years has gradually taken root in people's hearts. Last year, Guangzhou, only Huangpu Avenue, there are dozens of well-known domestic and foreign cabinet flagship store opened. And like Kobelco Bologna, Wei Nai Da, Srei Lei from Italy and Switzerland, such as the best Western-style overall kitchen, cabinet market in Guangzhou is also not bad, won the vast majority of high-end home furnishing market in Guangzhou. Compared with Chinese kitchens, Western kitchens have very different characteristics. Difference one: open VS closed in the western kitchen, mom cooking food at the stove, while the family is sitting in the living room sofa connected to the kitchen, while watching TV while chatting with the mom who is cooking food this is a typical western kitchen. It uses a design that is connected to the living room, the kitchen is completely open and often has a dining table in the kitchen area, where cooking and dining are done in the same area. Unlike the open, integrated Western kitchen, the Chinese kitchen is completely enclosed. This is closely related to the Chinese traditional food and cooking habits, because the Chinese are accustomed to is frying, stir-frying and cooking and other high fume cooking, can only take the form of enclosed space, and in which coupled with a strong horsepower range hood, to ensure that the kitchen fumes smoothly discharged to the outdoors, and will not be in the home space stagnation. Difference 2: multi-functional VS specialized due to the western kitchen using open space, so it is a larger footprint. In many European and American families, the open kitchen connected to the living room occupies more than one-third of the living room area. According to Kobelco Boloni a professional introduction, in foreign countries, some people who love kitchen life very much, will be a big deal to give the kitchen a spacious space, so that the family can be free to chat inside, and even with friends in the kitchen to open a small party of joy, are very relaxed and cozy. Compared to the spacious Western kitchen, the Chinese kitchen is small and delicate. Chinese kitchens have a very centralized utility area, with a series of cooking areas such as the sink, stove, and cooker, each occupying its own place in a small number of square meters, in a compact and orderly manner. The small kitchen space can not accommodate any extra items, let alone put down a whole dining table like the Western kitchen. Therefore, the function of small Chinese kitchen is limited to cooking. Difference 3: heavy decoration VS heavy practicality may be relatively large space, or perhaps because of the Western-style kitchen of the flavor of life is stronger, so many Western-style kitchen users will be the kitchen as a home of another living room to decorate the stove on the flowers and plants, set some small potted plants, or in the shelves placed some beautiful cups collected from around the back, so that the details of the Western-style kitchen can be as beautiful as the living room. In the Chinese kitchen, the kitchen can not put things, otherwise it will be very easy to give people the impression of clutter. Chinese kitchen to the beauty of simplicity, focusing on cabinet storage, in addition to practical cooking utensils, the kitchen is also less placed some exquisite decorations. In the Western-style kitchen, microwave ovens, ovens, Western-style gas stoves and small appliances such as toasters and blenders are essential kitchen appliances. These nimble and lightweight high-tech appliances play a very important role in the Western kitchen. The Chinese kitchen in the small appliances are not much, mainly rely on the stove, pots and pans and other large kitchen utensils to cook, these large kitchen utensils also constitute the main part of the Chinese kitchen. Western-style kitchen in the look also used in the Western kitchen in some aspects of traditional Chinese cooking habits seem a bit out of place, does this mean that the Western kitchen in the Chinese land must not be suited to it? It is understood that in many modern homes, certain styles of Western-style kitchen design does have some unacceptable contradictions. For example, some young homeowners are obsessed with the pursuit of open Western-style kitchen fashion, can only rely on power in the kitchen without using an open flame, and only look at the situation does not often happen, for the Chinese who are used to cooking dishes, the use of a fully Western-style kitchen is likely to result in the future of daily life in the many inconveniences. However, this does not mean that the Western-style kitchen can not be used in Chinese families. Some home designers have utilized clever ways to make Western kitchens more livable. Large kitchen sets of small kitchen effectively isolate the smoke in the area of a larger kitchen, the designer at the same time to establish a Chinese kitchen and Western kitchen area, using a large kitchen sets of small kitchen pattern, the original isolation of the kitchen and living room wall knocked down, and in the corner of the new kitchen closed a four or five square meters or so of the area as a pocket-sized Chinese kitchen, specializing in cooking Chinese dishes, effectively isolate the smoke on the home of the infringement. The Chinese kitchen outside the Western kitchen part is completely open, and set up a restaurant in this area, this new Chinese and Western kitchen combined type of decoration is more suitable for larger duplex, villas and so on. Activity board design to create a transparent space if you do like to use open Western-style kitchen, but also want to isolate the smoke infringement, may wish to consider some personalized transformation of the kitchen. For example, the kitchen is transformed into a semi-open, the use of movable glass windows or wooden doors will be separated from the kitchen and living room, cooking will be pulled on the partition, can isolate the smoke, forming a closed Chinese kitchen environment. When not in use and then open the partition closed, resulting in the inside and outside of the Western kitchen form of transparency, so that you can simultaneously enjoy the Chinese kitchen to provide delicious and spacious Western kitchen, but also increase the sense of light in the kitchen and the degree of transparency, is not a wonderful choice.
