Maximize Counter Space in Bloomington With Compact Kitchen Apartment Appliances

One of the most necessary but large appliances in Bloomington kitchens is your microwave. If your apartment doesn’t come with a stock microwave, seek out a small countertop model with a compact build. Mini microwaves will still warm up smaller items and pop popcorn without hogging all of your counter space.

An additional compact kitchen appliance for Bloomington apartments is a modest coffee brewer. Most brands offer petite models for narrow kitchens. A mini Keurig fits almost anywhere and pours you a single mug on par with anything from your neighborhood eateries. If you do need a full-size coffee pot, look for a model with a square shape and slim profile that will slide comfortably alongside your fridge.

Change Out Large Kitchen Appliances With Sleeker Substitutes

If you’re unable to get a compact kitchen appliance for your Bloomington apartment, you might find another smaller utensil that will do the same job. For apartment-dwelling bakers, you can change out the bulky stand mixer that takes up most of your kitchen space with a hand mixer that fits in a cabinet. Small smoothie and immersion blenders create healthy beverages like traditional blenders can should you need a pick-me-up after exercising or swim. And a thin mandolin provides you perfectly sliced veggies when you don’t have room to store a food processor. With these changes, you can cook any of your favorite foods without stuffing your kitchen.

Minimize Kitchen Clutter With Multipurpose Appliances

When you lack kitchen storage space, you should curtail the amount of cooking appliances you possess. Buying a a blender/food processor combo will help by combining the jobs of two devices into one. These devices have a lone base and interchangeable cups with the needed blades. This saves you the counter space of two roomy appliance bases, and you can still make a shake or puree veggies with ease.

Odds are, no kitchen appliance offers more than a new pressure cooker, like an Instapot. Most models are a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice maker. and several other offerings. Slow cookers come in multiple sizes if you’re feeding for a family or just yourself. You can easily cook your main meal or a side dish in it and still keep plenty of room on the counter to cook other foods.
