Slugfest Kitchen

Kitchen

Located in Goodale, the kitchen contains three stoves and a microwave. Baking terrorists fabricate cookies in the kitchen to inflict fear upon slugfest.

We have a fancy stainless steel table instead of the regular wooden ones EC usually provides.

Sarah Dohadwala is our current kitchen czar. She is doing a great job. She gave us ice cream for keeping the kitchen clean and works very hard to make sure it's all good.

Kitchen Rules

Most of the kitchen rules boil down to "use common sense" and "don't be an asshole", with a side of "if you are an asshole, prepare to face the consequences". More specifics can be found below.

(large chunks of the following copied from an e-mail from Jackie, a Kitchen Czar of 2004-2005)

  1. Label all food in both the fridges and the freezers with your name and the date you put it in (month/day for fridge, month/year for freezer). Anything without a name is free to the first person to find it (and may be thrown away at any moment). If you want people to eat it, label it 4E. Anything older than one month in the fridge and one semester in the freezer may be tossed, and will be if it has expired or looks sketchy, so don't forget about things.
  2. Food on stoves and counters probably belongs to someone who still actively cares about it. Don't mess with it, unless you're absolutely certain it's been there for a really long time. ("Really long time" is a very subjective term, I realize... think of it as: if you're not sure if it's okay, it isn't.) On the flip side, if you're leaving food unattended for long, please make sure it's clear who it belongs to.
  3. Any dishes left out (or found on wall hooks or the 4e utensil drawers between the sinks) can be used as long as you wash them promptly and put them back where you found them. Never take stuff from people's cabinets unless you have already received permission from them.
  4. Wash your dishes promptly, because sinks are emptied out into the dirty dish rack around midnight (give or take an hour) each night. If you have to soak dishes overnight, that's okay, leave a note.
  5. Each shelf of the dirty dish rack is emptied every other week (Sunday night). If you leave stuff lying around, be sure to rescue it or else it will be permanently gone.
  6. Anyone who puts pasta or other food in the sink instead of the waste disposal will be shot. LEARN TO USE THE WASTE DISPOSAL. If you need to be taught, ask someone (One of the insinkerator things doesn't work that well).
  7. If you break something, clean it up and replace it. If it was glass or otherwise sharp, send a warning email to the hall.

Not a rule, but just a warning: the burners are gas, so watch out for the open flames and make sure they're turned all the way off when you turn them off. You don't have to babysit burners every moment they're on, but if something boils over from inattention, I will find you and make you clean it up and possibly hurt you, or at least be angry and I'm the one who assigns your cupboard space.

Cabinet space is assigned in the first week or two of fall term as fairly and appropriately as the Kitchen Czar can manage. All cabinet space will be allocated -- there will almost certainly be no leftover space, so be sure to pay attention and sign up when this happens.
