When you move out of your parent's house, whether that be to your own apartment, dorm, or in with a friend somewhere else, you won't have everything you need. The main part of your place that you'll miss of your parents is the kitchen. Who knew that you actually needed those gadgets you got so used to at your family's house? Here are a few you'll want to pick up before you get into your new place.
1. Mixer
You mean I have to mix things by hand if I don't have one of these? It doesn't just come with the apartment?
2. Can Opener
One of those things you won't remember you need until you're halfway into making something and realize you can't open the can of tomatoes you just bought.
3. Wine Opener
You get all settled in for a wine night with the girls and then you realize you have nothing to open the bottles with. Head on over to Pinterest.
4. Pizza Cutter
When Papa John's doesn't cut your pizza well enough or you pick one up from Walmart to stick in the oven, you're going to regret not having a pizza cutter. No, a knife doesn't do the same thing.
5. Measuring Cups
You try making any recipe. There's no denying we're not as good as our parents yet at eyeballing how much a cup of milk is.
6. Waffle Maker
Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up. You won't regret it when it comes to midnight snacks.
7. Sugar Container
When you go to have your coffee, you're going to want a cute container to keep your sugar in. Putting the bag in the pantry? So not Pinterest.
8. Coffee Pot
Speaking of coffee, this thing is going to sit out on your counter pretty much all year, so spring for a pretty one.
9. Strainer
Pasta is a broke college student's best friend. But what if you don't have a strainer? You could have a pretty rough time trying to make pasta.
10. Snuggle Mug
Don't ask questions. Just order yourself one. Now. Whether it's coffee, tea, oatmeal, or a multitude of other things, it will keep your hands nice and cozy.
11. This Thing
Do I eat toast? Not really. Do I eat breakfast? Again, not really. But I need it in my life.
