Kitchen Cut List

Eleonora and Aj Narindo created a revised schedule of items to be bought. You can access the list on the second tab of this spreadsheet (it has been updated recently, this is a copy of the original)

Make sure you buy something that has the same spec as was initially prescribed: power, drainage, better to stick to model.

Delivery date for item, earliest: 23rd of September

Shelving

Areas for shelving include cooking space, dry store, kitchen store, flower studio - fitted after flooring at end October. We should order items for delivery end October/beginning November

Pots and pans

Deciding re pots and pans quite important

Induction Magnet Test
The first test is the magnet test. Start by placing a magnet on the base of your pan, and if it sticks firmly, it will work with your induction cooker. If it doesn’t stick firmly, it may work, however it will not work efficiently. If the magnet does not draw toward the pan's base, the pan does not have the metals to create heat with an induction cooker. You can efficiently test to see if your pots and pans are induction ready by using a refrigerator magnet.

Induction Boiling Water Test
The next text you can try is the water test. You can do this by pouring a little bit of water into the pot or pan you wish to test and set it on the unit. If you receive an error message, this means the cookware is not induction friendly.
