(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A kitchen is generally a room for cooking, in the broad sense of food preparation (outdoor areas in which food is prepared are generally not considered to be kitchens). It may have a furnace and/or a microwave oven, and small appliances such as a toaster, mixer and blender.
Within homes, the kitchen can be the center of other activities as well, depending on its size, furnishing, and equipment (see also major appliance), for example washing up (with or without dishwasher), washing and drying laundry (often with a washing machine), normal and refrigerated food storage, and eating. The kitchen is sometimes the most comforting room in a house, where family and visitors tend to congregate, instead of in the living room.
In restaurants, hotels, and other public establishments, the kitchen generally is required by law to meet certain standards of public health, and is inspected periodically by public-health officials.
In restaurants there are often hours in which the kitchen is closed. This means that no food can be ordered, only drinks and some simple snacks. For the early history of the built-in kitchen ("Frankfurt Kitchen"), see also the biography of Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | FRYING-:PAN:, n. One part of the penal apparatus employed in that punitive institution, a woman's kitchen. The frying-pan was invented by Calvin, and by him used in cooking span-long infants that had died without baptism; and observing one day the horrible torment of a tramp who had incautiously pulled a fried babe from the waste-dump and devoured it, it occurred to the great divine to rob death of its terrors by introducing the frying-pan into every household in Geneva. Thence it spread to all corners of the world, and has been of invaluable assistance in the propagation of his sombre faith. The following lines (said to be from the pen of his Grace Bishop Potter) seem to imply that the usefulness of this utensil is not limited to this world; but as the consequences of its employment in this life reach over into the life to come, so also itself may be found on the other side, rewarding its devotees: Old Nick was summoned to the skies. Said Peter: "Your intentions Are good, but you lack enterprise Concerning new inventions. "Now, broiling in an ancient plan Of torment, but I hear it Reported that the frying-pan Sears best the wicked spirit. "Go get one -- fill it up with fat -- Fry sinners brown and good in't." "I know a trick worth two o' that," Said Nick -- "I'll cook their food in't." |
