As the average price of homes continues to skyrocket, living spaces are growing smaller and smaller. This leaves homeowners with little to no room for a whole range of full-size appliances. Thankfully, there are a lot of cute-sized kitchen gadgets out there that boast multiple functions, making them ideal for small spaces. And here are some of them:
Mini oven toaster
Great days start with a fulfilling breakfast, and there is nothing that symbolizes a quick and filling first meal quite like some toast. Lucky for you, Dash has a fun-sized mini over toaster. Its printed circuit board or PCB was created from equally tiny but no less powerful components, giving the oven toaster the same features as its bigger counterpart. The PCB’s insulated structure also ensures that it’ll never get too hot, so it’ll last you years. Available in multiple colors, this adorable mini toaster oven from Dash also has an automatic shut-off function.
Portable espresso maker
If you like the idea of having a strong cup of coffee with your breakfast, the next kitchen gadget you should purchase is the Staresso Espresso and Cappuccino Maker. With its ability to produce 15-20 bars of pressure, you can look forward to a shot of espresso that has a strong but smooth taste. This portable espresso maker also comes with a reusable coffee filter, a built-in shot glass, and a milk frothing feature, making it the perfect machine to make a fancy cup of coffee first thing in the morning.
Collapsible kettle
A favorite among travelers and backpackers, collapsible kettles are also ideal for anyone living in small apartments. Gourmia’s foldable electric kettle is specifically designed to have a food-grade silicone body that makes it incredibly portable and easy to store. With a capacity of 800 ml, this tiny kettle has a speed boil feature and sensor that automatically shuts off the power when the water level is too low.
Camping cookware set
For those of you who enjoy cooking but do not have enough storage space for pots and pans, getting a camping cookware set is a great alternative. That’s because sets like Stansport 360 Stainless Steel Mess Kit are not only stackable, they also double up as cookware and a dining dish. With copper bottoms that are impeccable heat conductors, you can expect your meals to be cooked even quicker.
Portable blender
If you are a fan of smoothies, Nutri Ninja’s portable blender is definitely worth considering. As one of the first brands to come up with personal-sized blenders, Nutri Ninja promises 900 watts of blending power. This allows it to blend practically anything, from fruits and vegetables to ice and nuts, in 10 seconds or less. What makes this brand a really good option is that each personal blender comes with an 18-ounce cup and a 24-ounce cup.
Thanks to the innovations in technology, we can now have tiny gadgets that perform just as great as the full-size ones. For more tips and tricks on how to improve your kitchen, make sure you explore our articles here on Smart Kitchen Improvement.
