Kitchen Nightmares - Pookie gets a new kitchen

Scoville DeVille said:
At least your bathroom was functional, you didn't need boots and a flashlight to go to the bathroom! :Rofl:
"Functional" is a relative term. Just ask Evan. He would pee off the deck rather than use the bathroom. After us jumping his doodoo for that, he used our bathroom and shower for the 8 months before the remodel.
 
BTW, I have always been a fan of the European kitchen/laundry set up. So practical but hasn't really caught on here in the US. I always wonder about these brand new McMansions we work on where the people have to get the laundry, walk down the hall (past the 1000 sq ft kitchen), and downstairs to the laundry room. It's like they purposely put the laundry room as far away as possible from where it should be. I'm not sure of what your total home square footage is but I know in small homes like in NY, it's pretty popular to have your laundry in the kitchen. So you not only got a new kitchen but laundry as well. That's what we call here in Twisp a "twofer". (Two-fer-one) LMAO

Do yourself a favor and order another baking steel. Having two of them in the oven works even better than one!
 
Okay well I have an argument to counter that. You cook a pizza so fast on the steel, and want to keep an eye on it and the crust, why not do that twice? Just takes a few minutes to cook two. But if two are in the oven, and you have to keep an eye on two, and they are cooking differently, you have to open the door and mess with one while you mess the other one up.

The tile looks good to me! Time for another re-wine.... :drunk:. :lol:

My bathroom was in worse condition than pookies kitchen. Finally got it all redone. Still haven't taken a bath in the $800soaking tub....But it's nice to know I can! :lol:
 
 
Again I'm really sorry about your bathroom, SL
 
Next time I'm up, I'll just dig a hole and go outside
 
If you want, I can start making payments on the repairs?
 
I cook two - just doing one at a time. The theory is that the crust cools down the first steel, so after a few minutes on the first steel you transfer the pizza to the second steel to finish while the first steel reheats. You get a crisper crust that way.
 
I loved making pizzas this way, until I set the oven on fire and my wife won't let me use it anymore. I am banished to the outside ovens now :-(
