What to Look For
- Check your dorm rules — some schools restrict appliances like hot plates and toasters
- Compact size that fits on a shelf or mini fridge top
- Easy to clean — you probably will not have a dishwasher
- BPA-free and food-safe materials
Pro Tip: Coordinate kitchen appliances with your roommate. One person brings the mini fridge, the other brings the microwave. No one needs two of either.
