Instant pots are reasonably good jack-of-all-trades appliance. I cooked exclusively with one while trucking, you can make a decent version of most things between saute mode and pressure cooking.

OP, I’m in a similar situation but probably worse since my kitchen is technically a laundry room. Feel free to study pic related if you’d like ideas. Instant pots are great for this btw, I have one and use it all the time for pinto beans.

Get a crock pot, an induction burner, and a very large (26qt) air fryer, plus a table or shelf able to hold whatever 2 are not currently in use on your counter

The right side of this pic is my “stove” area.

Where do you wash your chicken?

>>19531869
The heat of the cooking washes the chicken. But I have a small bathroom with a sink right next to this setup if you’re actually curious about how I do sink stuff.

>>19531837
Brother, that is a massive amount of space.

I have an iPhone that has a fisheye type effect I used to take these pictures. Hold on a sec and I’ll get you a 3D model.

>>19531826
This is good to know. I think I'll pick one up.

Thanks for this inspiration anon. I like that cupboard thing you have your microwave on. Looks like a great combination of counter space and storage

Would you recommend a crock pot over an instapot? I forgot about air fryers, I ought to look into that as well. I hear they can generally replace a toaster oven while being more versatile

A clamshell contact griddle is exceptionally useful.
The angled ones, like Foremans, neatly drain excess grease, but this feature makes them hard to fry eggs with.
You are absolutely fucked, so also get a portable butane stove. Spend some money for a quality imported 15k BTU one. Very useful for tabletop hotpot or when the power gets offed.

Are you the guy who got put in the cuck cave by his wife?

>>19531879
Ok here is the 3D model.

No lmao but coincidentally I was the guy who was giving him advice on how to live in a basement.

Instapot (for rice/noodles and batches braised meats/poultry to prep for the week) and toaster oven for desserts (baklava, fruit filled pocket pies, cookies), bread and stuffed savory/dessert calzones/empanadas.
These are what I would use.

>why-peepo don't season they soup

>>19531915
h-how did you make this?

>>19531817
if i were you, i'd invest in a decent countertop oven, a double burner cooktop, and potentially bite the bullet and get a pressure cooker. With that you can cook pretty much anything you need to. Good luck, you fu/ck/

Sort of echoing what has already been said, I would do this:
Air fryer - tray/toaster oven type
Microwave
Induction/ butane burner x 2
Instantpot

non that anon, i'd definitely get an instapot over the crockpot. it's much more versatile and better made.

air fryers are completely redundant if you get a nice countertop oven with convection settings.

Polycam for iOS. I’m a software dev and it’s handy for quick 3D models.

because i don't cook with added fat, a pressure cooker is usually the only thing i use a stove for. an instant pot can do a lot
