Eggs stuck to my Calphalon One first time I used it!
Comments (13)I do not own any Calphalon cookware, but I thought their infused pans were non-stick. Accourding to their page (see link), it states: "Infused with an advanced release polymer, the Calphalon One cooking surface not only sears food perfectly - it also lets you control when foods release from the bottom of the pan." So it lets the user control when foods release from the bottom of the pan. Hmmm... how does the user do that? By using butter or fat? I think Calphalon is telling folks that the infused line IS non-stick (or at least has the benefits of non-stick). -G Here is a link that might be useful: InFused...See MoreHelp with 80's galley kitchen
Comments (9)Just a small thing, if you are left handed, keep the DW where it is, but if you are right-handed, you may consider moving the DW to the other side of the sink. I'm also going through a re-model of a galley kitchen, not easy to figure out where to put everything in a small space. One thing that has helped me is to think not about layout right away, but about what I want to store, and who will be using the kitchen. Then layout came more naturally. Even though we have a galley, we are a family of 5, so we effectively made zones in the galley, and then thought of what to put in zones depending on use. There is a kid's zone, a husband zone, and my zone. People can be working in each zone, and not bump into each other. We even found space for 2 sinks. If you click the link below, you should get results for galley kitchens at gardenweb. If the link doesn't work, try searching: "site:ths.gardenweb.com galley" Hope that helps.

Comments (4)And a view up to the current living room from the dining room. I also forgot to mention in the original post that we are changing the stairs to wood and replacing the railing and spindles with a white/wood combo. Thanks again!...See MoreWhich sink and material for my 80's kitchen?
Comments (12)Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned that my current sink is 8" deep and it fits fine. It's the 9.5" and 10" deep sinks that are pushing it. Also, I am looking at box store type sinks. My entire condo costs what many of the kitchen remodels here cost and I don't want to over-improve it. townlakecakes, I don't know what the valve for the dishwasher is called, but my last place had one and my parents have one, too....See Moremubuckley100
