How much time do you spend in the kitchen? Whether you’re whiling away hours a week, stirring on the sweltering stovetop, or you frequently use the dining table as a place for work and rest, the kitchen can become a hub of social activity. Because we have spent longer amounts of time in our kitchens over the years, they have become larger and more open spaces. But when it comes to cooking, the average adult today spends almost half the time preparing meals as their parents would have at the same age. Although some of this could be down to lazy chefs, one factor that is making the kitchen experience simpler, quicker and more luxurious is improvements in culinary technology.
