The Best Kitchen Gear for College Students | Serious Eats

[@tomwhitington8737]

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

[@randomdogdog]

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...

[@haroldhenderson2824]

No hotdogs, bologna, pizza?

[@andrewmalbright]

Y'all had string cheese?

[@virgenmary3331]

Lol

[@virgenmary3331]

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.

[@potatopertato]

Felt like this is more to " basic house kitchen needs" than for college student

[@potatopertato]

@Foodstuffs indeed 😂 just if we have enough money

[@bl6973]

Shin rin Like seriously, who needs a sous vide machine and an instant pot. Like did the mess hall just explode?

[@duckman12569]

"Don't open cans with knives, it's super dangerous" eh "And it will ruin your knives" Ohh..

[@MrJewripper]

There's nothing that's says that you go to college until you wear a shirt that says "college"

Rodents? What rodents. Don't you mean roommates! That is what ate most of my food.

[@cyanl.2245]

🤣

[@pyaariiilalfromindia8716]

Yep. Same here. My dorm neighbour eats from my cooked food to my peeled opened pomegranates

[@alexreinking]

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.

[@kperkins1982]

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

[@jordanh4171]

Where's your magnetic knife rack from? Can we get a name or link?

[@randomdogdog]

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!

[@InnuendoXP]

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.

[@Kuesa]

i sense a lot of anger coming from this comment

[@InnuendoXP]

@@Kuesa the force isn't real, Karen

[@thephotographicauditor6715]

You forgot the cases of Ramen and a George Foreman...

[@greener336]

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.

[@Fakerrv]

Why u dont show the fridge

[@Darwins_Fink]

this feels so forced and fake....

[@domonicb6752]

Not in college but this is also pretty helpful for Marine Corps Barracks 😂

[@reptiledisfunction9232]

the shit that says college got me 😂

[@nanasheartss]

My college won’t even let us have microwaves :(

[@blackminnie]

Can't cook in UK dorm rooms.

[@DistressedEgg]

as someone who has an immersion blender at college, its useless, I never use it, buy a small blender instead.

[@123JVU123]

How do ping pong balls help?

[@Mixedbylotus]

🤣🤣🤣 Who’s sous viding food in a dorm room

[@janellekama7401]

The college I want to go to doesnt allow knives

[@TheFrog767]

Nice dog 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@abelbabel8484]

I susbscribed here for Kenji, not for appliance commercials.

[@lwilton]

Kenji has his own channel these days, though he doesn't show up very often there either.

[@Edog1337]

wtf, a dorm room doesnt need this stuff. you need a water pitcher and.....

[@reptiledisfunction9232]

let her cook

[@Fakerrv]

U are not showing but just telling lol

[@MickHuerta]

Amazing (grating) NASAL voice that screams "click" to anything else! (otherwise, love SE!)

[@cristianramos5947]

What a waste of 8 minutes

[@Paelorian]

Looks like someone went to Alcohol State.

[@coutureofandrea]

Paelorian tbh all colleges are alcohol state... Unless it's byu 😅
