Not only does it allow us to use up some empty space in the van but it keeps our fruit and veggies from getting squashed with the other food. It makes any vehicle that little bit more homely. But the cheapest we’ve found were online. There are some more sinks at camping stores like REI that come in different sizes and materials. This sink had the best reviews and reasonably priced. Having ones that are collapsible make it so much easier to store and they are a lot studier than the flexible plastic ones you can get. We have found that having plastic containers and buckets take up too much room and are an awkward size to fit in our tiny kitchen. Great reviews and the cheapest we found was this one on Amazon ( European Option) 1 x Flat-fold drying rack for dishes If you decided not to have the bowls that also function as storage containers (see bowls above) then you’ll want these.Ĭollapsible containers save A LOT of space in your tiny kitchen and can also save you a lot of cooking time by allowing you to store extra food. These are a lifesaver for any minimalist kitchen! We always cook extra food for our next meal so we don’t want to miss out on having containers because of our small kitchen. A good quality ceramic pan will last forever – Just don’t use any metal on the pan and try to avoid plastic or foldable handles.

This of course saves space and there are plenty of sets that are compact as well as being high quality. It’s your choice whether you want to buy individual pots and pans or buy sets that fit into each other. This is the only one we have ever used and we believe it makes the best coffee! You can get ones that are a 3 in 1 opener – Bottle, Jar, and Can – sweet. (metal will ruin your pan) 1 x Can opener If you are really keen on sticking with ceramic just keep in mind that the handles will at some point break off and your plastic cups will crack at some point too. You may want to have more than 2 cups available for when you have guests so you can have some stackable stainless steel cups for when you want cheeky drink with friends. Some people prefer to have cups that have a spill-proof lid which is great to have for those times you want to drink and drive (coffee that is). Stay away from plastic as it can often break or melt.Ĭups that are durable and will hold in the heat as well as keep your drink cool are ideal. Try not to get the cheap kind that just ends up bending when you dig into your meals. Aluminum and stainless steel sets will last longer.

If you are really tight on space you can get collapsible camping bowls that fold down to be easily stored and can also double up as storage containers. There are a lot of stainless steel options as well as stackable sets that don’t take up much room. We have a few different-sized bowls that fit into each other. (Sometimes out of stock – so check these alternatives here) These plates are more sturdy and will not get scratched or snap when they are stored in the van. Plastic is the cheapest option but they break regularly. The plates we have found to be the best for living outdoors are stainless steel, bamboo or enamel plates.

The great news is that you can get almost everything collapsible or made to fit into one another which makes it easier to create a minimalist kitchen in your tiny home.
