You should plan for a natural and efficient work sequence between work surface, cooker and sink.

This is known as the '''''work triangle''''' and should be arranged to minimise movement.

It is a good idea to carry out an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics '''ergonomic survey'''] of recording actions in a kitchen whilst performing set tasks.
