Hey friends! Here is my checklist for the kitchen essentials every first-time renter needs. I put some affordable suggestions linked below. If you get anything from this list, GET THE STACKABLE POT SET. It comes with lids for no-sweat leftover storage and detachable handles which make the pots easy to clean. Since the handle can be detached, it makes them ridiculously easy to store. This will save you lots of precious cabinet space.
I am obsessed with the mixing bowl/strainer/colander stackable set as well because it’s so easy to store in the cabinet. My checklist is available as a free download so you can print it and use it for shopping. Enjoy!
