Ok so the Conrad offered us a frying fan and spatula. Silly question... What do I do with it? Do they have a stove I can use also?

You may not feel comfortable with it but it's for them to make you omelettes in the morning at their free breakfast (or I guess whatever else you wanted them to make for you: fish, veggies, potatoes, etc.). ;)

Yes they will let you in the kitchen. The Head Chef is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He was so accommodating and so understandable in our religion.
