2. Distinguish the three heights of the sink area, the cooking area and the operating table.

Generally speaking, the height of the sink area for washing vegetables is the same as the height of the operating table for cutting vegetables, and the height of the cooking area for stir-frying is slightly lower than the other two areas. Therefore, most families set the sink area and the worktop on the same countertop.

The sink area and the operating table are placed on the same countertop, which is in line with the life line of people in the kitchen, and it is more convenient to wash and cut vegetables.
