I offer kitchen access in my listing, but to be honest, I am not all that enthusiastic about sharing this space with guests. I do not include any pictures of the kitchen in my photo gallery, but a few people, all Chinese, have come prepared to fix meals. I have no manuals. I have no instructions. I hover.
Want to cook a steak? I pick the correct pan and temperature. Are we making a hot pot? I pick the pot. I watch the temperatures. I make sure that dish towels are not too close to the flame. I let them use my second most favorite Western chef knife, or either of the Easten knives. [One is for vegetables; the other for meat.] Cutting boards? I will get them. Often, guests need a sense of which utensil will work best, so I find them what they need.
Today's guest wanted to warm some chicken wings she had bought, pre-cooked, at Costco. So, I went into hover-mode and talked her out of the microwave. We placed the wings on a rack over a sheet pan, and roasted the wings in the oven until they were crackling again. I then arranged them onto a serving platter and this young woman thanked me! She had never used an oven! Now she would knowhow to reheat food in her South Carolina apartment.
Ah, and the dishwasher. Nope. No reason to touch that at all. Mr. Susan hardly lets *ME* touch the dishwasher, so guests are simply asked to set their dishes by the sink. And, they are not allowed to clean either the cast iron or the All Clad pans. Just too much can go wrong.
So, hover is how I manage my kitchen appliances.
The coffee machine and electric tea kettle in their suite are a matter of a quick introduction, and there are manuals for them.
