Space-saving Gadgets for a Small Office Kitchen

By

A large, spacious kitchen with plenty of countertops and storage is a dream no matter what the location. There is a spot for everything plus room for more. However, not everyone is so lucky as to have a large kitchen. If your office is limited on space, especially in the kitchen, how you use every inch makes a difference. Luckily, there are plenty of gadgets you can get that will help you stay organized and help your employees make the most of your tiny office kitchen.

Cutting boards are an essential part of any kitchen. This pack contains three sizes: small, medium, and large. All the boards feature juice grooves and non-slip handles for safe and mess free meal prep. This will help keep your office kitchen clean. As a bonus space-saving tip, you can put one of them over the sink to give your employees temporary additional counter space. The boards are made out of hard plastic that is dishwasher safe and resists knife cuts. The set is also available in five different colors so you can coordinate with your office decor.

Having cutting boards available for employees is fantastic but the key to saving space in a tiny office kitchen is staying organized. This cutting board organizer is both small and stylish. It measures a mere 6 x 4 inches, perfect for even the narrowest office cabinets. It holds three cutting boards up to 0.5 inch wide. The organizer is made of 304 grade stainless steel which will not rust or corrode even in wet environments. The elevated design allows for proper air flow so the cutting boards dry properly. The minimalist design is simple, elegant, and will match most office decors.

If your office kitchen is lucky enough to be equipped with an oven then baking sheets are a must. These two baking sheets are perfect for small kitchens. The larger half sheet pan measures 18 x 13 inches. This is perfect for standard size meals or it could double as a serving tray for employees. The smaller quarter sheet pan measures 13 x 9.5 inches and is perfect for single portions. Both pans are made of aluminum which has high heat conductivity. This results in more even baking which means no more burnt bottoms. They are also rust-proof and do not have sharp edges.
