4. T shining in cramped quarters
Too nice to throw out, but short on space? This portable cooktop is a lifesaver for Modest Mo's tiny apartments or any other quarters that call for a space-saving solution. If you pair it with the top air fryers[3], you'll be able to whip up an impressive spread every single night of the week, without the need for constant take-out.
