  • While no student does college quite the same way, one thing is true of all of them: They need to eat. Depending on the school, dorm setups can vary greatly, but whether a culinarily minded student has to make do without a cooktop at all, can swing an induction burner in their room, or has access to a full kitchen, they won't want to be without a set of cooking essentials. Whether you're limited to a microwave in your dorm room or have access to a full kitchen, here's the cooking equipment you need to eat better at college.

    I like how they assume that college students only need to refrigerate string cheese and beer.

      I assumed that they were referring to a setup like i'm in, where you don't cook in your room.
      Then they mentioned induction cooktops...

      I'll be making stews and soups. Lasagna, rice, omelettes. 🥩 Steak. I'm 31 going back to school. Not a fan of just grilled cheese for dinner.

    Serious Eats always has great info and I've long trusted them to recommend products that are actually worth the price and shelf space. But they've never quite figured out how to relate to their audience, I think. Too often jokes just don't land and wind up cringeworthy, like Ariel here wearing a shirt that just says "college". Or decorating the kitchen with solo cups while issuing a very legal-department disclaimer about underage drinking.
    Compare this to Bon Apetit, say, where a lot of the runtime is spent showcasing their staff's wonderful personalities in (seemingly) candid moments. No, the recipes aren't tested to death like Kenji's masterworks, but the videos are more consistently nice to watch.

    my kitchen counter top is 1.2m long only.. so I need to plan what goes on it.. decisions.. I wanted a air fryer oven, but a contact Grill/Griddle seems like a good idea... then there is blender, electric kettles.. induction stove top.

    I really don't like the recommendation of tongs. Heavy duty kitchen tweezers are slightly cheaper, and provide better agility in the kitchen.
    Also, they make great ghetto chopsticks.
    The other concern is that space is a premium. I only just fit my 2 skillets in my cupboard. The saucier, while a decent choice if you can use it would be too cumbersome to keep moving in and out of the kitchen. 10 inch skillet for the win!

    You absolutely do not need ping pong balls to keep sous vide water from evaporating 90 percent of the time.
    If you are cooking a steak for 2 hours and have a lid the water might go down half a centimeter
    Now if you have a 48 hour cook going it might be needed but who is really doing that in a dorm that often?
    I've tested the ping pong balls, there is basically no difference until you reach 12+ hour cooks

    Great concept but it could of used some surprising additions. Off the bat, youre gonna need a strainer and likely a funnel. This lady's personality was a miss, for me.

    Lol what college student can afford an instantpot or a joule?
    "We prefer (brand name)" yeah, you're supposed to declare sponsored content.
    Anyway. If your rules allow - the best miniature kitchen setup is:
    1 knife
    1 cutting board
    1 pot
    1 skillet
    1 electric kettle
    1 miniature convection oven with hotplates on top
    1 microwave
    1 mini fridge
    Honestly that's more than enough to cover the basic cooking needs for 4-6 people if you've got rotating schedules and nobody's a dick about cleaning what they use.
    If you want a slow cooker so you can have a week's worth of stew for $5, get one second hand from a goodwill, the market floods with them every time someone dies.
