Must-Have Gadget for Small Kitchens: See Why Everyone’s Raving!

Students are all too familiar with the challenge of cooking in a cramped space. Living in a studio or a small apartment means limited countertops and storage space. Soon enough, you’re overwhelmed by kitchen tools. And let’s not even start on the stovetop! Those lucky enough to have four burners are the envy of many who make do with just two. One pot for pasta, one pan for sauce, and suddenly there’s no room left… But here’s some good news: we’ve found an incredibly practical utensil that takes up half the space. Not only does it save on space, but it also reduces the amount of dishes to wash and electricity used!

“It’s amazing!“, that was Monelle Godaert’s reaction, known as @not_so_superflu on Instagram, the first time she tried this utensil. In her video, the content creator makes mushroom pasta in just one pot.

On one side, she boils her pasta in salted water, and on the other, she sautés mushrooms in a bit of oil. To pull off this culinary feat, she uses a unique kind of pot: it has two compartments. It’s the ideal ally for small kitchens: you only need one heat source to cook an entire meal! You can sauté vegetables while the rice boils, or cook bacon strips alongside your omelet. Everything is served hot at the same time, saving time in the kitchen and reducing the amount of dishes to wash afterwards. What more could you ask for! The pot used by Monelle Godaert features a non-stick coating.

This pot is compatible with induction, halogen, electric, ceramic, and even gas cookers. If you prefer stainless steel, there are other models available in this material. To find the perfect one for you, just search for ‘dual compartment pot’ on Google!
