Kitchens now more closely resemble lounges where cooking also happens to take place, it has been claimed.A life and style article by the Hindu notes that the introduction of time-saving appliances over the years like gas stoves and pressure cookers has served to take away the laborious nature of many kitchen jobs.It was also suggested that the advent of modular kitchens whereby all components fit together seamlessly has changed the entire concept of cooking and brought about a new era of heightened functionality and comfort.Every inch of space available even in nooks, bends and corners are thoughtfully used making the original greasy and cramped kitchens history, said the Hindu.The comments come after Helium.com writer S.E Jones noted that kitchen sink sprayers are among the latest gadgets to help with washing up and other everyday chores.Mr Jones noted that a sprayer device can often be attached where there is a hole next to the kitchen tap.
