Communal kitchens are difficult to maintain.
* various utensils and supplies
 
* [[Coffee]]-making equipment
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.
 
The kitchen is a place where bio-hazards appear in a few hours.
 
If you don't want to kill/sicken the other hackers, ask someone who knows about sanitation, look it up online, or stay out of the kitchen/fridge/dumpster.
 
If you don't appreciate moldy food or vermin, learn from and help the other food hackers clean.
 
Communication includes writing labels with as much  details needed for coherent communication.
 
If you want to improve the kitchen, study excellent kitchen design.  Since we are hackers, it is ok to keep  changing the kitchen, as long as you don't stop until its ready for the other food hackers to return. 
 
If two or more projects are using the kitchen at the same time, work it out using your excellent communication skills.
 
== algorithm for food hacking ==
 
begin
  communicate with those in and around the kitchen;
  discuss your project;
  inventory available ingredients, tools, supplies;
  plan item or menu;
  make shopping list, budget, collect money if needed;
  if enough people, split into two groups;
  cobegin
        {
          buying team goes shopping;
          cleaning team prepares kitchen;
        };
  prepare food;
  eat, share left overs, safely store uneaten food;
  cleaning, sorting, putting things away;
  if inclined, write up your experiences, recipes, ideas for the future;..
end;
