Thinking of living small but wondering the truth about tiny homes? Sure, it sounds good in
theory, but the thought of cooking in a tiny home might be sending you reeling. If you’re
considering living small in an RV, park model, or tiny home, here’s the deal – along with a few
must-have kitchen accessories and tips for tiny living to make it all as simple as it should be.
Space in a park model, tiny home, or RV is limited. Storage above your sink, countertop, or
stovetop is paramount. There are plenty of magnetic wall storage systems you can find to store
cooking utensils, spices, and even paper towels. Here’s a simple one from Pottery Barn that
maintains an appealing aesthetic while being super functional when living small in Arizona.
Another great space saver is a multi-use tool. A regular cheese grader has several slicing
options, but the size and shape of them don’t really work when you’re storing in a small space.
Eliminate bulkier items for smaller versions or smarter versions, or both – like with this 5-piece
kitchen accessory kit that barely takes up any drawer space.

There’s a chance you might have to forgo some basic kitchen accessories when you’re living
tiny in Arizona. Things like a toaster, a microwave, and sometimes even an oven are not
guaranteed. Something like a toaster oven can help you solve all of those problems. A great
toaster oven can do all of those things, and easily make enough food for two people. Try out
one-pan meals that cook your meat and veggies at the same time. Not only can you create tasty
meals, but they’re easy and use very few dishes and ingredients – making it perfect for tiny
living cooking.
Cooking indoors isn’t the only option. Especially if you’ve invested in a park model at a
manufactured home community. You have extra space outside that you can make into your
outdoor kitchen, dining room, or living room even. Buy a barbecue and a few accessories like a
veggie basket to craft your meals in the wide open. There’s plenty of elbow space out there! Not
to mention, during the extreme temperature seasons, you can avoid heating up your home by
cooking outdoors.
