Moving into your first apartment can be an exciting prospect, though it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you need to fill your first place. The kitchen can be one of the more expensive spaces to stock, but the good news is that you can start out with a few essentials and pick up anything else you need as you go! Here are 13 kitchen essentials for your first apartment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. A 10- or 12-inch frying pan and a large sauce pot (both with lids)<\/h2>

A non-stick pan and pot will definitely be useful, especially for brunch fare like omelets. When it comes to a frying pan, a solid cast iron pan will literally last forever. Last point: lids for your pots and pans are incredibly useful \u2013 you\u2019ll definitely want them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Storage containers<\/h2>

Leftovers will be common, especially if you\u2019re only cooking for one. Make sure you\u2019ve got a set of quality (either durable plastic or glass) storage containers so you can easily store and reheat leftovers. These are also great for meal prep (if that\u2019s your thing)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. A toaster oven<\/h2>

Toaster ovens are extremely versatile appliances, with most having the ability to not just toast food, but bake and broil as well. Plus, they don\u2019t take up much counter space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Basic utensils<\/h2>

Cooking and serving utensils, such as these, are also a must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
