The history of kitchen pull out baskets reflects people’s ever-improving needs for kitchen storage and organization. From the initial simple design to multifunctional and intelligent products, kitchen pull out baskets have gone through several stages of evolution. The following is an overview of the main stages of kitchen pull out basket development.
Primary stage (1.0 era)
Time: early to the end of the 20th century
Features: The original kitchen pull out basket was mainly a simple metal frame structure, usually made of iron or steel, and the surface was electroplated to make it look bright and beautiful.
関数: Mainly used to store kitchen utensils such as dishes and pots, but the function is simple and the space utilization rate is low.
Disadvantages: Easy to rust, welding parts are not good looking. Pull out baskets mostly use fixed structures and cannot adjust height or width early, due to material and design limitations. The load-bearing capacity is relatively weak and not suitable for storing heavy items. And the slide rail design is relatively simple, not smooth enough when pushing and pulling, and sometimes there will be jamming.
Progressive stage (2.0 era)
Time: early 21st century
Features: Aluminum alloy materials were adopted, the design was more modern, and the appearance was more beautiful.
Functions: A variety of practical functions were added, such as adjustable dish racks and independent water storage trays, which improved the flexibility of storage space.
Advantages: Aluminum alloy is light, corrosion-resistant, and not easy to rust. The slide rail design is smoother, reducing the jamming phenomenon during pushing and pulling, and improving the user experience.
Functional diversification stage (3.0 era)
Time: early 2010s
Features: The design of pull out baskets has become more diversified, smoother surface treatment, and more concealed welding parts.
関数: Added more functions such as knife and fork trays and spice bottle racks to make the classification of kitchen supplies more refined.
Advantages: Each layer has an independent track, which makes pushing and pulling smoother and more convenient to use. Improvements in materials and processes make pull out baskets more durable and have a longer service life.
High-end stage (4.0 era)
Time: around 2015
Features: Using more premium materials, such as space aluminum, ステンレス鋼, etc.. These materials are not only light and corrosion-resistant, but also have better pressure resistance and deformation resistance, makes it more refined.
関数: The structure is more stable, the load-bearing capacity is stronger, and it can bear heavier objects. The slide rails makes pushing and pulling smoother and almost noiseless.
Advantages: Exquisite design and high-end appearance improve the decorative effect of kitchen overall. Adding intelligent elements such as silent slide rails, smart opening and built-in lighting improve the user experience.
Smart stage (5.0 era)
Time: 2020 to present
Features: The introduction of smart technologies such as automatic sensing, voice control and touch screen operation etc. makes the pull out basket more intelligent.
関数: In addition to the basic storage function, it also has intelligent opening, closing, lighting and other functions, making kitchen operation more convenient.
Advantages: Intelligent design makes the kitchen more modern and meets the needs of families nowaday.
Representative products: The smart pull out basket equipped with German imported Heidis track and built-in LED light strip.
Future Trends
Integration: The kitchen pull out baskets of the future will be more integrated. Connected with kitchen appliances and smart home systems, realize the intelligent management of kitchen.
Personalization: Provide more customized options to meet the personalized needs of different users.
Environmentally friendly materials: Use more environmentally friendly materials to reduce the impact on the environment.
Summary
The development of kitchen pull out baskets not only reflects the progress of materials and technology, but also reflects people’s continuous pursuit of quality of kitchen life. From simple metal frames to multifunctional and smart products, kitchen pull out baskets has become an indispensable part of modern kitchens. With the continuous advancement of technology, the kitchen pull out baskets of the future will be more intelligent and convenient, providing us with a more comfortable and efficient kitchen experience.
