    20 Kitchen Gadgets That Are Incredibly Useful If You Live With Roommates

    Keep the peace with double coffee makers, microwave pasta cookers, and more kitchen essentials.

    1. A two-sided coffee maker because you and your roommates drink a lot of coffee during the day. This baby brews a full pot and makes mug-friendly servings, so you won't have to leave the house to get a cup o' joe.

    2. A big toaster that'll make breakfast less stressful if you live with multiple roommates. You can make up to four pieces of toast at a time (woot!) and not have to wait to pop your bread in.

    3. A microwave pasta cooker for *chef's kiss* perfect spaghetti. Even if you and your roomie don't have a stove, you can still make a delicious pasta dish. Just place your noodles in the container, add water, cook in the microwave, and drain. Bon appetit!

    4. An electric bottle opener that'll uncork your vino in seconds and be super handy for wine nights. If you and your roomies don't like using corkscrews, this fancy-looking gadget will get you one step closer to a glass of red or white.

    5. A vacuum sealer because your fridge is way too packed and you don't want meat juice dripping on your roommate's shelf. Make meal prep and food storage easy with this device, which compresses poultry, veggies, and leftovers into space-saving bags.

    6. An electric griddle for brunch, Taco Tuesdays, and other meals you'll be having with roomies. You can cook large batches of food (think eggs, meat, and peppers) in minutes and not have to wash so many pots and pans.

    7. An Instant Pot that'll basically be your personal chef if you want chili, stir-fry, and more delights. With six functions in one, it makes cooking dishes so easy. We're pretty sure your roommates will love to take a break from using the microwave, oven, and stove too.

    8. A set of cooking utensils, because you need a lot of spatulas, tongs, and whisks that'll be easy to clean. If you share a kitchen with at least one roommate, they'll appreciate having everything on deck when it's their turn to cook.

    10. An AeroGarden so you can grow herbs and leafy greens right in your home. This indoor garden comes with Genovese basil, curly parsley, and dill seeds and it doesn't take up too much counter space. Your roommates will also love these fresh ingredients for their meals.

    11. A crushed ice machine that'll help you and your roommate enjoy cold drinks all year long. It generates tiny ice blocks perfect for slushies, margaritas, and lemonade. No more crushing ice cubes and making a ton of noise.

    12. A portable hot plate for times when your roommate is using the entire stove and you need to make dinner, stat. Cook sausage and peppers in a skillet or boil pasta in this device, which will heat up food in no time.

    13. A 5-in-1 countertop cooker because you can heat up mouthwatering burgers, paninis, and salmon without an outdoor grill. It cooks food quickly *and* doesn't take hours to clean. You and your roomie can still have a delicious barbecue, even if you don't have an outdoor space.

    14. A smart pot-stirrer that'll be so helpful if you cook at the same time as your roommates. Clip this baby onto a pot and let it do the work for you, so you don't have to bump into each other while you're making chili or soup.

    16. A digital toaster oven because you can whip up takeout dishes in your kitchen and heat up a lot of food at once. Bake and cook meals, including pizza and nuggets, to perfection with this gadget, which comes with nine preset functions. You and your roommate will enjoy *dining in* for once.
