Move in is the next few weeks. I’ve lived on my “own” (roommate I never interacted with) for a couple months my last semester of college, but that was a temporary setup whereas I’m hopefully moving out for good this time.

Bear in mind that the place has window/wall A/C and electric heating.

Things I’m already considering:

  • Drain guard
  • Bidet
  • Cold brew coffee maker
  • Rice cooker
  • Space heater? I’d like to keep the temp largely down during the winter to save money while warming up the part of the place I’m in
  • Key for washer/dryer

Things I already have:

  • Most furniture
  • Air fryer
  • Seltzer water thingy
  • Meal prep containers

General advice is also welcome!

  • get stainless steel

    Personal preference but I strongly disagree. Stainless steel is basically my least favorite thing to cook with. I love my cast iron which I use for basically everything I can, and I like enamel for the things that sucks for.

    Ime stuff sticks to stainless steel so bad. Though I suppose it depends on what you cook often.

      Stainless steel has to be seasoned much like cast iron, so as long as I’ve oiled it well and cooked with it often, I haven’t had many stickiness issues. Cast iron has its place in my kitchen, but it’s so heavy I can’t flip the pans, and takes so long to heat up it’s relegated to slow cooking.
