		Consumables The "Consumables" zone is used to store consumer goods. These are items that are used for cooking and baking which then must be replenished.  They include both chilled and unchilled foodstuffs. That's why both the refrigerator and freezer cabinets are a fixed part of this zone. Open packages usually belong in the "Preparation" zone. Bread coffee, tea, cocoa cornflakes and müsli canned goods noodles, rice and side-dishes finished products sugar, flour and semolina chilled foodstuffs (in refrigerator and freezer) snacks Here you will find: Practical solutions for your storage items Video: Larder unit More storage space and organisation Studies show that many kitchen buyers wished they had more space for storing provisions. That's why it is important that you determine your storage space requirements and take into consideration when planning. Adjustable inner dividing systems provide organisation and a better overview.

		Non-consumables The "Non-consumables" zone is used to store non-foodstuffs. It is mainly used for kitchen utensils, cutlery, dishes and glasses. For ergonomic reasons, it may even make sense to store often-used dishes in the pull-outs of the lower cabinets instead of the top cabinet. Cutlery dishes coffee dishes glasses, dessert bowls plastic containers odds and ends seldom used small electrical appliances Here you will find: Practical solutions for your storage items Video: Cutlery Space requirement with comfort This kitchen zone holds up to one third of all the storage items in the kitchen. Because of the amount of items and their frequent use, comfortable access to them in lower and upper cabinets is very important. In addition, its allocation next to the Cleaning zone is very important as this will shorten distances when emptying the dishwasher and putting away the dishes in the cabinets.
