Evolution of the Kitchen
Whether or not the kitchen is your favorite part of the house, it is without a doubt one of the most important. Where else would you prepare and store your food? Some people are likely to overlook this room, especially those who spend little time in it, and probably only a handful have wondered about its evolution. Yes, like most things, kitchens did not always look and function like they do today.
In the West, open fire and charcoal were the sole means of heating food until the 18th century, and this was reflected in the architecture of the kitchen. It was technological advances during industrialization that brought major changes to the kitchen. Iron stoves were introduced – they enclosed the fire completely and were more efficient. They were fired with wood or coal until the late 19th century, when using gas for lighting and cooking became common in urban areas. Pots and kitchenware were mostly stored on open shelves. Later on, kitchen floors were tiled, and kitchenware were stored in cupboards to protect them from dust and steam. In the 1940s, a trend began in the United States to equip the kitchen with electric appliances such as blenders and toasters.
Nowadays, the kitchen is not only a place of functionality, but of design. Aside from the interior, unique kitchen accessories are a good way to spruce up your cooking (and sometimes dining) space. One of a kind salt and Pepper Shakers will surely attract more people to the dinner table. Unusual utensils like a chopstick spoon will make eating even more fun. And a Bottle Opener/Fridge Magnet in the shape of a shark’s dorsal fin is both useful and stylish. Unique kitchen accessories will also make great gifts for your mom who loves to cook, or your friend who’s having a housewarming party. The kitchen is an essential place in the house, and it deserves to be filled with unique kitchen accessories.

If you were an eating utensil, would you be a fork, knife, spoon, or chopsticks?
I think I would be a fork, cause, I can be used for good and for stabbing people.

I would not want to be chopsticks because you usually get thrown away after one use.
Life would be quite dull being a knife.
Being a spoon you really never get to make a point.
So I guess I would be a wonderful pointed fork.At least I could get enjoyment from poking people in the mouth.
