11 Miniature Kitchen Tools You Need Right Now

Making everything from soup to sauce to aioli or a creamy milkshake is easier with a food processor, and LINKChef’s mini processors are perfect for small kitchens.

Their 5-cup model weighs 2.5 pounds, measures 6.73 x 6.73 inches, and offers a pulse control feature. Meanwhile, the 3-cup model weighs 2.2 pounds and has a 24-ounce work bowl.

While the size of microwaves is limited by the magnetron and the need for a space large enough to cook a variety of items, miniature options are still available.

For instance, Makita’s 500-watt oven measures only 13.5 x 12.52 x 13.31 inches. There’s enough room to make a mug of cocoa or heat some tasty leftovers.

The versatile Thermomix, equipped with 16 functions and pre-loaded with 70,000 recipes, comes closer than any other product on the market to replacing your entire kitchen.

The latest Thermomix TM6 model is capable of weighing, chopping, grating, peeling, reheating, cooking, and blending and will even clean itself after prepping your meal.

Though 2.5-ounce jugs tailored for measuring espresso shots exist, they pale in comparison to the miniature measuring jug from UK-based Stains and Brights.

With marks for denominations as low as 1 teaspoon, Stains and Brights’ borosilicate glass jug cup maxes at just 1.35 ounces and is small enough to measure out shots.

Air fryers are limited in size by the need to cook food at volume. The top end of the scale provides 8-12 quarts of space — enough room for a chicken or pot roast.

However, a wealth of mini air fryers hovering around the 4-quart mark, and compact 2-quart fryers measuring just 9.75 x 9.75 x 12.5 are readily available in the market.
