Save Counter Space in Westfield With Compact Kitchen Apartment Appliances

Probably the most essential but bulky appliances in Westfield kitchens is the microwave. In the small chance that your apartment doesn’t come equipped with a built-in microwave, find a modest countertop model with a compact build. Mini microwaves will still heat smaller items and pop popcorn while freeing up your counter space.

A separate compact kitchen appliance for Westfield apartments is a modest coffee brewer. Most brands have trim models for narrow kitchens. A mini Keurig fits anywhere and makes you a single mug on par with anything from your local restaurants. If you do gotta have a full-size coffee pot, seek out an option with a square design and slim profile that will fit easily alongside your fridge.

Replace Bulky Kitchen Appliances With Slimmer Substitutes

If you cannot find a compact kitchen appliance for your Westfield apartment, you may have luck with another smaller device that does the same job. For apartment-dwelling bakers, you can change out the bulky stand mixer that takes up most of your counter top for a hand mixer that fits in a cabinet. Handheld smoothie and immersion blenders create healthy beverages like standard blenders can when you want a refreshment post workout or swim. And a thin mandolin offers you uniformly cut veggies when you don’t have room to store a food processor. With these replacements, you can cook any of your family favorites without crowding your kitchen.

Cut Down On Kitchen Clutter With Multi-use Appliances

When you lack kitchen storage options, you might need to reduce how many cooking appliances you own. Opting for a blender and food processor combo will help by bringing together the jobs of two appliances into one. These machines employ only one base and both a blender cup and a food processor cup with their respective blades. This frees up the kitchen real estate of two bulky appliance bases, and you can still blend your smoothies or slice veggies with ease.

Odds are, no kitchen appliance does more than a modern pressure cooker, such as an Instapot. Most makes are a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and with even more capabilities. They come in multiple sizes if you’re cooking for company or just yourself. You can prepare your main meal or a side dish in it and still have room on the counter to make other foods.
