This Portable Prep Station Is the Ultimate Solution for Tiny Kitchens With No Counter Space
When you don’t have ample kitchen space, it’s easy to feel discouraged from home cooking. Why bother trying to fit a cutting board on your minuscule countertop when you can just pop a frozen dinner in the microwave instead? Fortunately, you don’t have to resort to unhealthy eating habits just because you don’t have the culinary work station of your dreams. There are tons of finds out there that’ll help declutter and open up your kitchen, such as spice organizers, magnetic fridge attachments that hold pantry staples, and hidden shelf risers for cleaning products. But, you’re not just limited to making do with what little space you already have. You can actually increase your surface area with buys such as this Fold N’ Go prep table by Cuisinart. It expands your work station in seconds, and it’s available for just $100 at Williams Sonoma. You’ll feel motivated to flex your skills again in no time!
The Fold N’ Go table was actually made with outdoorsy activities such as camping and tailgating in mind, but no one needs to know that — its silver steel surface is just as worthy of being set up in your kitchen, where it’ll give you an extra 24 by 20 inches of space. The tabletop is super sturdy thanks to its X-frame legs, so you can chop away without fear of shaking the table. Not only that, but this find also has two attachments: a paper towel holder and a trash bag holder that can fit up to 13 jumbo-sized trash bags at a time. (When you’re done prepping, you can simply swipe your scraps off the side and into the garbage!) If you have an electric cooktop or grill, you can also just place it atop the table and do your thing while someone else uses the main counter.
In addition to all those amazing qualities, you’ll also be excited to learn that this prep station is super easy to store. When you’re done using it, simply fold its legs closed, push the tabletop flat against them, and stow the entire thing vertically in your storage closet or even between the fridge and counter. You only need a couple of horizontal inches to accommodate the Fold N’ Go. Before you know it, you’ll be reaching for this clever makeshift counter every meal prep sesh — and who knows? It could also come in handy during your next roadtrip.
