Conserve Space in Bloomington With Compact Kitchen Apartment Appliances

Likely the most crucial but large appliances in Bloomington kitchens is the microwave. In the small chance that your apartment doesn’t come equipped with a existing microwave, look for a modest countertop model with a compact build. Mini microwaves will still heat leftovers and pop popcorn while freeing up your counter space.

Another compact kitchen appliance for Bloomington apartments is a modest coffee pot. Most brands have trim models for smaller kitchens. A mini Keurig can rest almost anywhere and pours you a single drink on par with anything from your local eateries. If you do must have a full-size coffee pot, pick out an option with a square shape and narrow profile that will slide easily in a corner on your counter.

Swap Bulky Kitchen Appliances With Smaller Substitutes

If you cannot find a compact kitchen appliance for your Bloomington apartment, you might find another smaller utensil that can do the same thing. For apartment-dwelling bakers, you can replace the bulky stand mixer that takes up most of your kitchen space with a hand mixer that fits in a cupboard. Small smoothie and immersion blenders create healthy beverages like regular blenders do should you need a pick-me-up post workout or swim. And a compact mandolin gives you perfectly sliced veggies when a food processor won’t fit. With these replacements, you can make all of your family favorites without crowding your kitchen.

Cut Down On Kitchen Clutter With Multi-use Appliances

If you’re lacking kitchen storage space, you may need to reduce the amount of cooking appliances you own. Buying a food processor and blender combo helps you do this by combining the functions of two tools into one. These appliances have a single base and interchangeable cups with the appropriate blades. This spares you the space of two roomy equipment bases, and you are able to blend your smoothies or chop veggies in no time.

Perhaps no kitchen appliance offers more than a modern pressure cooker, like an Instapot. Nearly all models are a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and several other offerings. They come in various sizes if you’re cooking for company or just yourself. You can cook your main meal or a side dish with it and still have room on the counter to prepare other foods.
