You Need These Mini Appliances in Your Dorm ASAP
Don’t head off to college without grabbing these cooking essentials.
While your meal plan at college is definitely convenient (and usually required for freshmen to squeeze as many dollars out of you as possible), it can be a pain to drag yourself to the dining hall. Plus, what if hunger strikes during that late night study session when everything is closed?
That’s why having these dorm room cooking essentials on hand is a must. Grab one of these to finish off your back-to-school shopping.
Slow Cooker, $44.99
Crockpots and slow cookers are a great option for your dorm. Simply throw all your ingredients in the pot, set the temperature, and let it go. Your food cooks slowly (hence the name), meaning it’ll be done just in time for you to get home from class.

Toaster Oven, $242.32
Some dorms don’t allow toaster ovens because they consider it to be an open coil appliance, but if you’re not breaking any rules by having one, pick it up. They have tons of different functions, ensuring you get a hot meal every time.
