Considering that the school houses close to a thousand students, the kitchen is a relatively small room. Complete with multiple ovens and stovetop burners, four refrigerator and freezers, three microwaves, two toasters, six dishwashers, and a lot of pantries, the entire room is smaller than fifty feet on each side. All the appliances are placed along the outer rim of the room; on the inside, eight stainless steel tables are arranged in rows with walking space in between each one. In one corner, there is a small hole out of which comes a conveyor belt. The dirty dishes are taken off of it and placed in a dishwasher to be cleaned. Then, they are put on a cart to be taken back to the Dining Hall.
A staff of five professional cooks stay on hand to prepare the three meals a day and there is always at least one in the kitchen until curfew to point you in the direction of a proper snack. All the food in the pantry marked "Snacks" is allowed to be eaten at any time. The kitchen-masters would appreciate that everyone refrains from taking from the other cabinets since meals for so many have to be prepared and measured exactly for there to be enough. The only rule is that you clean up after yourself and don't leave a mess.
While the cooks never need any help, a popular detention is to assign kitchen duty to a student. It is never sure what that child will be doing since the kitchen-masters can require anything from helping cook to cleaning plates to reorganizing the food closets.
