        "text": "The kitchen work triangle connects your refrigerator, primary sink, and cooking surface. In a well-planned layout, each leg of the triangle typically measures between 4 and 9 feet, with the total perimeter falling between 13 and 26 feet. The goal is to keep traffic flow unobstructed while ensuring you can move between prep, cooking, and food storage zones efficiently. In modern open layouts or larger kitchens, many homeowners shift toward specialized work zones—such as separate baking, beverage, or cleanup stations—rather than sticking strictly to a single triangle. Evaluating how many cooks share the space helps decide which framework works best.",
