Kitchens Reflect Changes in Society
NEWARK, Del. You can learn
a lot about people by looking at
their kitchens, and American
kitchens are changing, says
University of Delaware Extension
Home Economist Sally Foulke.
Recently, 1,400 Extension home
economists were surveyed about
changes that have already taken
place, as well as those anticipated
over the next decade. They noted
that today’s kitchens are no longer
totally women’s domain. Men are
becoming more interested in
nutrition, cooking, and kitchen
appliances. And during the next
decade, they said, kitchen duties
will be assumed equally by men,
women, and children.
Behind this trend is the growing
number of women in the work
force, which has had other major
impacts on American kitchens.
For example, 79 percent of the
home economists agreed that in
making purchases for the kitchen,
working women are primarily
interested in convenience.
Extension home economists also
believe that women employed
outside the home are trying to use
their time more efficiently. They
foresee a trend toward less
frequent grocery shopping and
more quantity buying. Employed
women will spend less time
preparing food than they did a
decade ago. Interest in nutrition
