How the kitchen works.
For the night itself: the ovens, the cooktop, the dishwashers and the screen, a tap away. Every step comes from the maker’s own manual, with a link straight to the page.

Appliance by appliance
The big ovens
Cooking wall · waist height
- The main and the sides in at the same time
- Meat cooked to how done you want it, with the probe
- A slow cook that turns into a hot finish on its own
The combi ovens
Cooking wall · eye level, above the big ovens
- Reheating a plate or a bowl of soup in a few minutes
- Warming the plates while the roast rests
- Two more ovens when the big ones are full
The cooktop
Cooking wall · on the stone bench
- A big pot of pasta water boiling fast
- Searing on one side while the sauces hold on the other
- A griddle or a roasting tin across two zones
The rangehood
Cooking wall · in the cupboard above the cooktop
- Clearing the steam from the pasta pot and the sear
- Taking smoke and cooking smells away
- Light on the cooktop, so you can see what’s in the pan
The fridge freezer
Cooking wall · between the cooktop and the drinks fridge
- Chilling the dessert and the platters ahead of time
- Ice for the drinks, made in the freezer
- The big shop kept cold all night, with the freezer below
The drinks fridge
Dining end · under the small bench
- Everyone helping themselves without walking through the cooking
- Cans and a few bottles of wine cold and in reach
- Tall bottles, once you move a shelf
The dishwashers
Wash-up bench · side by side
- Clearing the table as you go, so the bench stays free
- One washing while the other fills
- Glasses and plates back in about an hour on Quick with Speed
The sink and tap
Wash-up bench · between the bin and the dishwashers
- Soaking the roasting tins and the big pots
- Filling a tall stockpot under the high tap
- Rinsing into the corners with the pull-out spray
The bin
Wash-up bench · left of the sink
- Scraping plates straight in, right beside the sink
- Rubbish out of sight behind a cupboard door
The screen and sound
Dining wall · on a swing-out arm, by the kitchen
- The birthday slideshow, from a laptop or a phone
- Your playlist through a proper sound system
- The grand final, or a film after dessert
The deep clean after you go is ours. What we ask before you go
