For example, we can see that some stoves and cookers are more common. Because we need to use these things to cook in the kitchen, these kitchen utensils are indispensable. First of all, we need to store things, because it is impossible to have some vegetables or meat products in our kitchen, so we need to prepare some things to store food. For example, refrigerators can be used to store some meat or products that are simply out of shelf life. At the same time, there are more storage cabinets such as low cabinets for storing tableware or cooking utensils. The second is washing things, because we are in the kitchen. There are some dishes that need to be washed, and some cooking waste will also be generated. So we need to equip ourselves with corresponding waste bins and the like. At the same time, some families should also equip themselves with some utensils such as disinfection cabinets when they are equipped.
