"Science and science fiction, how do you even distinguish the two?"
- Jerry Pournelle

Electric Kitchen  
  Food preparation in space requires safe equipment.  

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.
