Our poor reader explains
that they are stuck in a
typical affordable London
‘living space’, which basically
amounts to a shed-sized hovel with
only a twin electric hob and a
microwave to work with. Presuming
you’re not squashing a family in
there, GaGu would first start by
thinking about streamlining the
tools. A multi-section skillet like the
VonShef All In One (£25) enables
you to cook multiple items on a
single burner, with defined
compartments that stop one
leaking over onto the other. Sure,
it’s gimmicky, and realistically it’s
most useful if you do the sensible
thing and eat a full English
breakfast for every single meal,
but in a compact situation it’s a
practical choice.
For the other burner, Guru
would suggest Kitchen Craft’s
MasterClass Smart Space
saucepan set (£38.50), a nesting
selection of saucepans with a
single one-size-fits-all lid. The
handle is detachable, so when
you’re not cooking the whole lot
fits into a tidy 20x20cm package.
GaGu knows it’s important not
to overload that postage-stamp-
sized worktop you have going on,
so he’d suggest not going heavy on
the electricals. However, if you
were to choose one counter-
hogger, a multi-function cooker like
the Instant Pot 80 Duo (£100)
offers up a multitude of options in a
single unit. It’ll slow cook, pressure
cook, steam, sauté, cook rice and
even help you make yoghurt for all
those times you’re desperate for
yoghurt and don’t mind waiting
hours to cultivate the stuff yourself.
How can I cook smarter with limited kitchen space?
