Old Hackspace Kitchen
Possible sources of cheap kitchen appliances (we need an oven & hob)

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 only a fiver so 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 |
| 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.
