The kitchen has long been the heart of the house, and at the same time, a place of technological innovation. We have come a long way from cooking over an open hearth with the kitchens of today has all the power, technology and innovation at hand. The kitchen is a continuous development of design and technological equipment of the house is only amplified his role as a center of family connection and human interaction.
Liberation through innovation
For centuriesEat more of a fire in a fireplace of stone or brick was baked. The kitchen fire, and also shed light warms the room. In the early years of settlement in Canada, the kitchen was a multipurpose room where the home not only prepared the meals, but the heated water to wash, dry clothes on rainy days, and wool, along with many other tasks. More than any other part of the house, the kitchen was the center of family life and the food has made it necessaryFamily health and wellness. It 'been a hard work cooking in a kitchen with an open heart - from lifting heavy iron pots beside the fire and hot spot stretching hundreds of apples to dry.
It was the joy of creating delicious dishes made with seasonal produce and locally raised meat and garden play. There was a satisfaction to know of how to preserve and store food during the winter and how to get the most out of limited supplies before the next harvest. Canada Cooks soonand economic resources were. Nothing was wasted - even the residual grease from cooking, which, if made with lye from the ashes of the fire boiled extracts homemade soap. And the home was rarely alone in the kitchen: each family member can work taken in the kitchen, the water of the well and include the increase of the wooden pole. By necessity, the kitchen was the social center of the house.
Over the last 150 years or so, women have welcomed newrescue work and cooking utensils from the mid-19 th century apple paring machine, non-stick pan. While these and other small appliances made life easier for cooks, some inventions transformed the kitchen and radically changed the culinary habits. The time savings has finally allowed women to spread its wings outside the home. The iron stove instead of the chimney in 1850.
In 1920, gas and electric stoves were common. Today wesee induction cooktops, a more attractive and effective way of cooking that warms and cools quickly. Electro began to be produced until 1925 in Canada, and the difficult economic times of the Depression slowed their adoption. It took a while 'for Canadian families to the ice, which maintain a regular supply of large blocks of ice to replace the cooling compartment is required. Electrical refrigeration at home no doubt contributed, including the preservation of food. TodayRefrigerators were designed for the kitchen as a social center, with counter-current to allow for additional depth of the design space in the kitchen, under counter refrigerator, to bring refreshments directly in the area in which to entertain people.
The 1930 also began in the electric mixer. The most fundamental task of preparing food - a mixture stirring with a wooden spoon - can now be done with the machine. While previous kitchens were like "living room" where the owner was ordered individual piecesFurniture of their choice (free-standing sink, stove, refrigerator, table, wardrobe), the mid-1930 on kitchen design is always recovered the efficiency of all new equipment. Large household appliances were placed according to ergonomic principles and in line with a series of counters and cabinets. Take this concept of scientifically advanced and well-functioning, modern kitchen, which was formed in 1930 has started, the ideal remains today.
A couple of new materials forTools (for example, easily shaped and colored plastic, heat-resistant silicone), new tools (such as steam dishwashers, blenders, food processors, microwave with built-in hoods) and new technologies (convection and induction ) were accepted arsenal of cooking, but for the rest of the basics have not changed much. What we have seen, cooking utensils and refined design that peak efficiency is difficult to save even more time in this way, even if "intelligentCase "computers offer the promise of enticing away the governed.
Elemental Connect-ions
For the biggest change in eating habits over the past ten years, you have to look outside the kitchen to store shelves as food, in which women (and men), now with a selection of ready-prepared almost paralyzing, select Hot and serving food can. Despite these developments on the markets to help families with their time-challenge lives, there was a corresponding loss of homeCooking skills and Canadians are further separated from the original source of their food. If you can not wash the potatoes mud that is less of a cooking task, but it is also difficult to see the connection between field and table names.
From a room of many functions, in keeping with the agricultural cycle in the 19 Century, the Canadian cuisine in a space where families can prepare a meal without actually "cooking". But despite this extraordinary evolution in the kitchenIt remains to be the central meeting place for the family. Food - its production and consumption - is not only a prerequisite for survival, but also a strong link. It may not be necessary, as it was in previous generations, to work hard to produce a meal, but we still have to cook if we are capable and we still want our food to share experiences with others - in a space efficient and friendly, it leaves open at all.
We do not need in the kitchen (or fields)as much as our ancestors, but must interact with us for the foundation as a social being through cooking and eating. In the 21 Century, it turns out, it is important to know where they come from our food to make healthy choices to eat and pay attention to the unintended consequences of new technologies. Functional and efficient kitchens are evident. They are developers and manufacturers of products that the fundamental human need to respond with the production of foods that will help usChart a course for the future culinary positive. This project is also in keeping the kitchen is the heart of the home to be successful.
