5 Ways to create an efficient wet and dry kitchen in Johor Bahru

If you come of age or have lived in Malaysia for a long time, you undoubtedly know the words wet kitchen and dry kitchen. As the name suggests, a wet and dry kitchen refers to a sort of kitchen structure that divides the kitchen into two halves. Before we delve deeper, let’s look at the differences between both of them.

Dry kitchen is placed in the air-conditioned part of the house, like the open dining space or living room. It is also generally kept for lighter cooking operations, such as cutting vegetables, preparing bread, breakfast, snacks, fruits, and so forth.

Wet Kitchen is another term for ‘Malaysian cooking’. High-duty cooking operations such as wok-fried garlic, baking cakes and cooking sambal kangkong usually take place here. In other words, this is a spot where high-intensity gas stove burners are installed.

By dividing the kitchen into half, this help not only to optimize the usefulness of the workspace but is also excellent for people who prefer to socialize and meet friends at home.

Therefore, if you intend to create a wet and dry kitchen at home, we believe you will benefit a lot from this article. Let’s check it out!

2. Easy access to both wet and dry kitchen.

Despite the fact that both wet and dry kitchens should be divided into two areas, they should still be located nearby, or close together, so you can easily and effortlessly go from one location to another.

The same applies to kitchen appliances. Because both kitchens are isolated, you must ensure that you or other members of your family can easily obtain the common appliances, such as the microwave mixer, electric kettle, dishwasher, pots and pans, and other appliances which are used regularly.

By guaranteeing these components, your output in kitchens would indirectly increase since it would save time and energy, irrespective of whether it is about the time you move between the two kitchens or the time it takes to obtain the kitchen equipment.

3. Easy maintenance is compulsory for wet and dry kitchen

As the wet kitchen is designed for heavy and oily cooking, the space is prone to get dirty easily. Grate and filth will be more likely to cling themselves to the walls and cabinets, therefore the areas must be kept in a way that is easy to clean. The most efficient approach is to insert porcelain or ceramic tiles on the wall as they are super easy to clean compared to other materials. In terms of kitchen cabinets, get the one that is simple to clean.

On the flip end, the dry kitchen needs less maintenance/cleaning than the wet kitchen because only minor activities are carried out such as breakfast, snacks, fruit cutting and heating. The dry kitchen may thus be manufactured in quality materials such as flat substrate and granite for the countertop.

 

4. Ensure appropriate ventilation for wet and dry kitchen

The wet kitchen serves as a standard kitchen that includes a lot of grilling, heavy-duty cooking, scrubbing, and chopping, all of which produce moisture and heat. The kitchen should therefore be properly ventilated through a window or doorway; it should also contain a fireplace or air compressor to release strong culinary smells, smoke, heat, and other indoor kitchen pollutants.

A dry kitchen, on the other hand, is a fumes-less kitchen since it is only used for light cooking activities, therefore no extra ventilation system in this area is required. As long as the ventilation makes you comfortable in the kitchen, it is more than just fine.

 

5. Versatile and multi-functional for wet and dry kitchen

The wet kitchen, in addition to preparing food, should also be utilised to store tools, silverware, dishwashing and groceries. A large countertop and wide sink are also needed for vegetables, fruits, filthy utensils and so forth to be cleaned in your wet kitchen.

The dry kitchen is equipped with a modest kitchen countertop and a smaller sink used for dishwashing and tidying. It may also be used as a multipurpose ‘pub’ or as a breakfast table, if necessary

In conclusion, to construct an effective wet and dry kitchen in your home, a fully functional kitchen should be well planned, and your radar should be considered multiple elements before making the last decision. This will not make you regret your selection and indirectly also enhance the productivity of your kitchen.

Creating an efficient wet and dry kitchen involves meticulous planning and consideration of multiple elements. Ensuring easy access between the two spaces and easy maintenance is crucial for a seamless workflow.

Adequate ventilation is a necessity in the wet kitchen, where heavy-duty cooking generates heat and moisture. Meanwhile, the dry kitchen, used for lighter activities, requires less maintenance. Both spaces should be versatile, offering functionality beyond cooking.

With proper planning, a well-designed wet and dry kitchen not only enhances productivity but also creates a social and functional hub in your home for various culinary activities and gatherings.
