Possible sources of cheap kitchen appliances (we need an oven & hob)
http://www.which.co.uk/advice/how-to-get-discounts-on-products/discount-kitchen-appliances/index.jsp
Fridge
We already have a fridge.
Oven
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?
We won this electrolux oven & hob, 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.
Hob
Induction has been suggested, which would be safer, but costs ~£30-£50 more. A ceramic hob -- electric or induction -- will be easier to keep clean than a metal one.
As always, if there's something going cheap or free, it might be better to get it as a start.
We won this for £20 in an auction. Assuming it actually works, it's a decent hob.
| Model | T1722 W0 |
| Surface | Black Ceran glass-ceramic |
| Dimensions | 575mm (width) x 505mm (depth) |
| Control | Touch with residual heat indicators
Electronic boil start control |
| Back left | 0.75/2.2kWh - 12/21cm (dual) |
| Back right | 1.2kWh - 14.5cm |
| Front left | 1.2kWh - 14.5cm |
| Front right | 2.0kWh - 18cm |
Counters
We're currently thinking of just a counter to turn the kitchen into a C shape. We could then add something like Noisebridge's mosaic.
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.
Better ideas are welcome.
FYI, there are approximately 48 Pedigree, 15 John Smith, 22 Adnam, 12 Abbot, 11 1744, 25 1664, 24 London Pride, 25 Fosters, 2 Becks, 4 Coke, 20 plain/curved, 14 plain/straight, 4 plain half pint.
