Living close to Metropolitan Portland at Kruseway Commons gives you the opportunity to enjoy a fast-paced lifestyle, with plenty of dining options in the area. But cooking at home has gained a new level of popularity. It is healthier, less expensive, reduces your calorie consumption, and gives you more control over your salt, sugar, and carb intake.<\/p>\n
To make your at-home, culinary experiences more efficient, here are 5 small appliances or kitchen gadgets that don't take up much counter or cabinet space.<\/p>\n
5 Kitchen Gadgets for Apartment Living<\/h2>\n
1. Panini Press<\/h3>\n
Experiment with your own gourmet sandwich creations with a small Panini press (or plate grill). Top lean meats like chicken or seafood with your favorite veggies, low-fat cheese, and multi-grain bread for a crispy crusty and mouth-watering melt. The non-stick coating makes clean-up a breeze. And these versatile appliances can cook a variety of foods, including veggie burgers, crispy hash browns, and even omelets.<\/p>\n
2. Mini Crock Pot<\/h3>\n
Who wouldn't like to come home to a hot, simmering slow-cooked meal? A mini crockpot can hold 2 quarts of your favorite soup, stew, or creamy chicken pot pie<\/a>.<\/a> Even the least expensive meat cuts will tenderize and be full of flavor due to the long, low-temperature cooking. Slow cookers are experiencing a major comeback as a time-saving way to eat healthily.<\/p>\n Deliver perfectly cooked eggs for breakfast in less time than it takes to boil water with a rapid egg cooker. This device can boil, poach, or cook scrambled eggs in minutes. Toss in a few veggies like mushrooms and peppers, plus Monterey Jack cheese for a quick Western-style breakfast. This kitchen gadget is easy-to-store, lightweight, and the non-electric parts can go right into the dishwasher.<\/p>\n Belgian waffles for one—coming right up! Yes, even apartment dwellers can enjoy a sweet breakfast with this appliance that takes up only a 6" square surface area. This cute and compact kitchen gadget can double as a mini grill to create mini grilled sandwiches, hash browns, and even biscuit pizzas. Instead of a round or square waffle, try a heart-shaped mini waffle maker<\/a><\/a> for fun!<\/p>\n If you want to become your own barista, all you need is a milk frother to turn your dark coffee into a rich and creamy coffee experience. A milk frother uses milk that is whipped up into a frothy layer to add to cappuccinos, lattes, or macchiatos. Impress your friends and neighbors with a foamy cream that you can use to make coffee art.<\/p>\n You will not lack the kitchen storage or countertop space for these apartment-sized kitchen gadgets when you choose one of our apartments in Lake Oswego, OR<\/a><\/a>.
