"...the space defense initiative drove the USSR bankrupt, and it originated at my house in Tarzana."
- Larry Niven

Electric Kitchen  
  Food preparation in space requires safe equipment.  

I don't know of an earlier picture of food preparation in space.

All objects lost weight, apparently. Limbs became free and light, while there was no alteration in the muscular power which was attuned to terrestrial conditions.... A joyous condition commenced for the cook in the electric kitchen. He could now drop plates and cups as much as he pleased; they slowly floated down to the floor and were not broken.

Published by Science Wonder Quarterly in 1929

It should be noted that the people inside the ship move in the same weightless environment as those who venture outside the ship.
