The Essentials

So, I'm no cooking expert, I just know that I've managed not to kill anyone and make edible meals in a kitchen the size of most hall closets. Observe:


That's my kitchen. That's it. Mini fridge, mini stove. I feel like a giant in there. Where's the microwave? Why it's on a cart "beside" the kitchen:


With space at a premium, I've found I cannot live without the following kitchen essentials (yes it's basic, but again, look at the size of the kitchen!):
  • 1 Non-stick frying pan-I highly recommend T-Fal. I've had mine since college and it is still rocking and rolling
  • 1 non-stick pot (lid is optional, really)-Again, I'm hanging out with T-Fal. I don't have a lid, but I've boiled water successfully
  • Crock pot/slow cooker-Fantastic for easy, cheap meals
  • Rice cooker-Because, who doesn't love rice?
  • Food processor-Good for homemade salsa and other dip like things
Did I miss anything?
