Location, location, location
The basics of functional kitchen designs are mandatory upon the location and placement of the refrigerator, stove and sink.
For convenience and protection, a functional kitchen design will have the cooking area in very close closeness to the kitchen sink. The refrigerator should also be in close proximity to the stove.

Kodak: Film Canisters Are Fine for Food Storage
23.08.11
If you have a hankering to take a teeny teeny packed lunch along with you, and you happen to have some old film canisters around the house, then Kodak has palatable news. While the plastic tubs aren’t FDA approved for prog, Kodak reckons that they’re safe enough, despite not accepted so far as to actually recommend the practice.
After having made roughly 10 gazillion of the available little pots over the years, Kodak knows a article or two about them. The bodies of these canisters are made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), old in kitchen utensils amongst other things, and the lids are LDPE (guess what that stands for), which is also commonplace.
So, while kids might asphyxiate on the lids, human adults should be fine if they choose to stock and carry food inside the watertight containers. There are no toxic or chemical residues from the vapour that was once therein, and the containers are “exceptionally clean” upon put together.
Which leaves us with one problem. What to put in there? Flakey Maldon salt is one apprehension, and a lollipop might fit in if you cut off its neck. You could even store a few cherry tomatoes propitious for an impromptu (and minuscule) salad. After that, though, I’m stumped. Videotape-canister picnic ideas in the comments, please.
