There's a lot more to running power to an oven than that page suggests. ''We will do this properly.'' In the meantime, if anyone's a qualified spark, or has significant experience with electrics, feel free to contact us on [[IRC]].

Something good, with a big '''glass door'''.  We want to see the yummy stuff as it cooks. Bread, crumbles, flapjacks, pizzas, all recipes to be well documented in the wiki.


A bad oven can seriously impede caek baek, and can waste a lot of heat.


Double or single ?
* I'd suggest single, because as far as I can tell you just end up with two small ovens that you can't fit anything big into. But it depends whether we're getting a freestanding one, I guess.  Any more thoughts?

=== Counters ===
[[Category:Outdated Pages]]
We're currently thinking of just a counter to turn the kitchen into a C shape. We could then add something like Noisebridge's [http://news.cnet.com/2300-10797_3-10001933-4.html mosaic].
[[Category:Prior Hackspaces‏‎]]
 
=== Glasses ===
 
The auction also got us over 200 beer and other glasses. I propose we put 50 or so in the space and put the rest on sale to members & visitors at 50p each. If this is successful it will pay for the cookers ! It may be possible to etch them with the laser.
 
Update:
 
This didn't work out too well, so I've taken a bunch away as they were becoming a nuisance. There is still a boxful in the back room - intended as extra stock for parties (including loans for your own events) - as well as the ones in the small kitchen cupboard. I think there may be a half-box under the T shirts too. These can be used in the space or taken for your own use if you wish. A small donation in the beer tin would be welcome, but not essential. --[[User:Artag|Artag]] 21:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Oven

We have an oven! It is sitting in the Workshop waiting to be installed. We won this EOU 5330 W electrolux oven & EHP 6602 K hob, not single and not as shiny as the Neff hob but better than it looks in that picture ; and only a fiver so we can chuck it out when we find something better. *** Fitted JUL 2012, now connected and working ***

  • NB whoever installs the cooker should be aware that it will need its own dedicated circuit from the fusebox. Do not just plug it into a 13A socket (unless it's unusually low-power). Example instructions: [

There's a lot more to running power to an oven than that page suggests. We will do this properly. In the meantime, if anyone's a qualified spark, or has significant experience with electric installation, and is willing to spare the time, feel free to contact us on IRC.

Hob

We won this for £20 in an auction, which is a decent hob. We need to determine whether it should be used instead of the cooker hob. *** Fitted JUL 2012, now connected and working ***


  • There's no special reason to use the electrolux hob - no controls integrated or anything, and the Neff hob has no knobs to capture dirt. But there's also the possibility of fitting both - would be useful for cooking larger meals, and wouldn't really affect the use as a worktop when not in use.
    • I think 8 hobs is overkill for any purpose we will realistically have. This hob is nicer, but if we are keeping the other one then the knobs will be there anyway - can't see that it is reasonable to fit both. Can the hob on the elecrtolux be separated from the oven? If not I think it would be best to keep this one in a box until we get a modern oven. Robert 08:16, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
    • Yes, the electrolux hob is completely separate from the oven and probably interchangeable with the Neff in terms of worktop cutout.
      • I would be in favor of just scrapping the electrolux then, assuming there is no technical justification for using it over the Neff. Robert 20:08, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
