10 Cooking Gadgets Every College Student Needs This Fall
When dining hall food just won't cut it...
Getting your college student's kitchen set for the school year should include more than a standard microwave and mini fridge — especially if they've moved to an apartment off campus. There's a multitude of great gadgets that will make learning to cook for one or two (hey, roommates need to eat too) easier than ever. From an air fryer to a breakfast sandwich maker, college students will be more than prepared to cook their way through the school year.
As a college student, no one is expecting you to be a great chef. Something simple like a hard-boiled egg maker might be enough to get you by for quick breakfasts and lunches, and we love this version from Dash. Perfect for meal prepping, you can have enough eggs for a quick bite in the morning or an egg salad sandwich or chef’s salad for lunch.
Don’t make the trek to the dining hall every time you’re craving French fries. Instead, fry up anything from veggie chips to wings in the comfort of your dorm room. By frying everything in the air fryer, you’ll also make your meal with a lot less oil than the deep-fried version you're bound to get anywhere else nearby.
Whether you’re crafting a homemade brunch for your roommates or just want to treat yourself with an extra-special breakfast one morning, this mini waffle maker makes it easy. Plus, it’s compact enough to store in even the smallest kitchen, making a no-brainer addition to any college student’s cooking arsenal.
This all-in-one gadget will heat up and cook every element of your breakfast sandwich in just five minutes, making it a great option for an on-the-go breakfast or weekend brunch. The layering system has you add bread and pre-cooked meat or cheese first, then the egg and bottom layer of bread. Once cooked, you remove the plates to create a perfectly crafted breakfast sandwich.
A toaster oven is a classic addition to any kitchen, but it holds even more true for a college student’s kitchen. It makes it easy to quickly cook a meal for one without turning on your stove or oven. This one is compact, meaning it won’t take up too much cabinet or countertop space.
