According To Experts, Some Of The Best Kitchen Appliances In The Small Kitchen
Not every kitchen has the space for a whole cadre of full-size appliances. Take, for instance, mine. I am among the millions of city dwellers living in tiny apartments with even tinier kitchens — people who are often on the hunt for powerful appliances with smaller-than-usual footprints. That way we can have a fully functional space to cook while still being able to move around. While everything is certainly cuter when it’s mini-size, not everything’s as effective, so I spoke to a handful of small-space experts to find small-scale appliances — from food processors and blenders to toaster ovens and waffle makers — that are as good as, if not even better than, their full-size counterparts.Truly these tools are very useful and best for small kitchens
1.Best compact food processors

Alexandra Carfioli, who runs the Instagram account Tiny Apartment Kitchen (an ode to her 90-square-foot kitchen), loves her Proctor Silex. “This is definitely the smallest appliance I own, but it’s my go to,” she says. “I use it to make sauces, hummus, and dips, and even to finely mince vegetables. This smaller size is perfect so I can make the right amount for two people … and maybe some leftovers.” And it takes up only half the space of our favorite full-size best-rated food processor.

3.Best Small Kitchen Appliances
Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus Food Processor Brushed Chrome and Nickel
Includedd components of the Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor Pulse controlled buttons Why Is This The Perfect Mini Processor For You? The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor handles a variety of food preparation tasks including chopping, grinding, puréeing, emulsifying and blending. The patented auto-reversing SmartPower blade provides a super-sharp edge for the delicate chopping of herbs and for blending and puréeing other soft foods. The blunt edge offers a powerful cutting surface to grind through spices and other hard foods. Pulse activation gives maximum control for precision processing, whether chopping or grinding. Spatula, product manual and recipe booklet included. Using Your Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor The powerful high-speed 250-Watt motor works hard and fast to accomplish any small job with ease. Chop herbs, onions, garlic; grind spices, hard cheese, purée baby foods; blend mayonnaise and flavored butters, all with the same compact appliance. The Mini-Prep Plus Processor takes up minimum counter space and stores neatly on the countertop or in a cabinet. Best Practices When Using Your Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Processor Size Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size – about 1/2-Inch. If you don't start with pieces that are small and uniform, you will not get an even chop. Quantity You don’t want to overload the 3-Cup work bowl. Use the quantities given in the included recipe section of the product manual. As a rule of thumb, remember that after being processed, food should not reach more than 2/3 of the way up the central hub of the blade assembly. Selecting the Right Operating Control Use the Chop function for chopping, puréeing and mixing. It’s the best option, for example, when chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for puréeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise and mixing salad dressing. Pulse action is best when you are using the chop function. Two or three pulses are often enough. Use the Grind function for grinding spices and for chopping hard food such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts. Continuous-hold action is best when you are using the grind function. Adding Liquid You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing, or you could add vanilla or alcohol when making frozen yogurt. Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover. Removing Food From the Sides of the Bowl Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear food away. After the blade has stopped moving, remove the cover and use the spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center. Cleaning and Storage Read to clean up? No problem To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover and blade immediately after each use, so that food won’t dry on them. Wash blade assembly, work bowl, cover and spatula in warm soapy water. If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the work bowl, cover, blade assembly and spatula on the top rack. The Mini-Prep Plus Processor stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. The hidden cord storage underneath the motor base will help to keep excess cord off the countertop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts.

KitchenAid KHB1231API Hand Blender 2-Speed, Matte Pistachio Green
Rae Lambert, founder of the blog Small Space, Big Taste, and resident of a 400-square-foot apartment in Manhattan, says an immersion blender is also a great space-saving option. “My immersion blender fits neatly in a drawer and does the heavy lifting in the mixing department,” she says. “I use it for mixing batter, whipping cream, making pesto/chimichurri, and blending soups. And it’s super easy to clean — I just blend it in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry.”

As we discovered on our never ending journey to make grilling accessible for people without backyards, Weber makes one of the best compact grills on the market. Mark Jenner, the editor-in-chief of barbecue site FoodFireFriends.com says the Go-Anywhere’s flat, rectangular design and foldable legs, which keep the lid in place, make it even easier to store and transport than a grill with a round top. It’s a little over a tenth of the size of a Weber Original Kettle, our favorite charcoal barbecue grill, and its cooktop is still large enough to accommodate two-zone grilling.
