You asked: What's the best kitchen appliance for a first apartment?
If you're buying one countertop appliance for a college student moving into their first apartment, what would you choose? This is a question we received in our live weekly chat, where we help you level up your skills in the kitchen. Continues the reader: 'Thinking of things like a microwave, air fryer, toaster oven, etc. Multifunctional would be great, and we're willing to invest in quality, but not super high-end. The student in question loves food and has broad tastes, is inclined to cook, and has decent beginner skills, but is busy and will likely keep things pretty basic (think a piece of salmon [with] veggies vs. fries and frozen pizza, [though] I'm sure there will be plenty of that, too.'
