When space is limited, you may only have a small space to store your cooking ware. Here is a list of essentials, that were used when making these recipes.

1. Mason Jars

Another thing that makes recipes like overnight oats even easier is having a few mason jars on hand. They’re perfect for mixing, storing, and taking your oats on the go all in one container. You can prep a few at once, pop the lids on, and keep them in the fridge.

Mason jars are super versatile too! They’re great for other meal prep ideas like salads, smoothies, or even soups. So having a couple around can make quick, easy meals a lot more convenient. I suggest the wide mouth jars and a couple of the screw on plastic airtight lids.

electric cooking pot

Dorms have many different rules about allowable cookware. It seems like the one that is most acceptable, are electrical pots, with the heating element contained, and have an automatic shut-off. I used this Drezin Pot to make the recipes on this site, the electrical element is self-contained, it has multiple, as in two heat seatings. The only downside is that is not the easiest thing to clean.
