Is 26' The New Kitchen Triangle Length?
What is supposed to be the total length of a kitchen's triangle?
26' Kitchen Triangle is often stated to be the length desired when planning a new kitchen and the kitchen's triangle length.

Is 24' The New Kitchen Triangle Length?
Another source stated 24' to be the max length for a kitchen's triangle. Modern kitchen's with multiple cooks may have other factors which apply to make this standard kitchen triangle length not applicable. Understand - Planning a new kitchen's triangle length is very important! Why?

Kitchen Triangle Math Lesson Of The Year!
Math Lesson Time! Hopefully this math lesson will help those of your planning a new kitchen to understand why an efficient kitchen's triangle is so very important.

26' or 24' Kitchen Layout
No Big Deal?

:-) 2' really is not a big deal.
My point - Inefficient kitchens - Are a big deal!


26' - 24' = 2' Extra.

500 = average times a day cook paces the kitchen's triangle.

2' x 500 = 1000 feet per day

1000 feet per day x 365 days of the year

365,000 feet per year!

72 - 76 years - Average person's life time.

Going with the lower number - 72.
72 x 365,000 = 26,280,000 million extra feet!

26,280,000 million extra feet walked with only two extra feet added to the total kitchen triangle length in one person's life time!

Looking at the bright side of things
- It is only 4,978 extra miles!

Does this help to visualize the importance of an efficient kitchen?
What if the kitchen triangle layout length added 10 extra feet?
