Space-Saving Countertop Appliances for Small Kitchens - ConsumerReports.org

Any chef worth his or her salt can cook a meal using a sharp knife and a pot or pan—but even the pros welcome a little help. 

“I adore my Vitamix blender,” says Jehangir Mehta, chef of restaurants Graffiti Earth and Me & You in New York City. “If I had to choose one piece of equipment, that would be it.” The 100-square-foot kitchen at Me & You has room for little more than an induction cooktop and convection oven, but Mehta managed to squeeze in a food processor alongside his blender. “I have one at home, too, for prepping just about anything, from purees and sauces to breadcrumbs and doughs,” he says.

Crunched for space? Whether you're cooking in a pint-sized bistro or a tiny home kitchen, the trick is relying on gadgets that earn their keep while occupying the least amount of real estate on the counter.

Opt for multipurpose appliances that offer efficiency and convenience when it comes to food prep. Some even go the extra mile and cook entire meals for you. But even among the top-performing multitaskers, there can be a big difference in terms of size.

We pored over our ratings for coffee makers, multi-cookers, microwaves, toaster ovens, food processors, and blenders to highlight the models that perform well and don’t require as much space as the competition. Below, CR's top picks.
