* the entire kitchen was disassembled during the 2014 reboot, replaced with minimal facilities.
* vandalism preceded the deletion of the kitchen, including destruction by hammer of the (tempered glass) induction stove
* the electric panel of the kitchen had been sabotaged several times before that point

== Excellence ==

Communal kitchens are difficult to maintain.

Due to the need for sanitation, freshness and the near simultaneous use of tools, communal kitchens are a complex collaborative workplace.   Everyone using the kitchen should conciously participate in preventing entropy.

Communication between everyone using the kitchen is essential.  Minimalistic direct communication is essential or disfunction, spoiled food, and an unsanitary environment rapidly ensues.

If you are not sure, or are certain you don't know how to use the kitchen, find collaboratores who already have a comprehensive understanding of kitchen excellence.

'''kitchen maxims'''

Use oldest items first. (eg. stock rotation)

Add new to old, never add old to new.

Clean as you go.  Leave it cleaner than you found it.

Start with less, add more to taste. (eg. salt, pepper, soy sauce)

Keep drawers and cupboards closed when not in use.

Everything in its place, a place for everything.

Label it. (date, description, project, instructions, ...)

If in doubt, ask.

== Hacking ==

Kitchen tools belong in the kitchen.   Some kitchen tools are expensive and may be difficult to replace.  If you need a kitchen tool elsewhere, leave a note on the kitchen white board, and return it as soon as you're done with it.

Larger projects involve resources (tools, ingredients, labor),  so the intentional destruction of a project is not being excellent.  Make an effort to communicate with the team members working on the project before taking action to remove a work in progress.

Tools for eating and drinking should not leave Noisebridge and should be returned to the kitchen when no longer needed.
