Let's take a quick look at the dorm kitchen items available at Pottery Barn Teen.

Choosing the Right Dorm Essentials

Not sure what type of dorm kitchen essentials to get? We have compiled a quick breakdown of the items you'll find in this collection.

• Reusable snack and sandwich bags - Instead of spending money on disposable plastic bags invest in some reusable snack and sandwich size bags. They are healthier for you and the environment and can be cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher.
• Hot or cold travel cups - Keep your hot beverages hot and your cold beverages cold in one of our stylish travel cups. Available in pink, gray, black, blue and other assorted colors, these cups keep beverages at the right temperature for hours. They come with spill-proof sippable lids and are dishwasher-safe.
• Lidded bowls - Take your breakfast, lunch, or dinner to-go in one of the lidded bowls in our selection. These bowls have spill-proof lids and can accommodate hot or cold foods.
• Electric kettles - An electric kettle heats water in a matter of minutes and provides a convenient way to enjoy hot drinks and soup when a stovetop is not readily accessible.
• Electric food cookers - Enjoy a multitude of hot foods without having to cook on the stovetop with a food cooker. Food cookers allow you to steam vegetables and cook hot cereal, eggs and other foods to perfection in a matter of minutes.
• Pour over coffee maker - Save valuable countertop space by investing in a pour-over coffee maker instead of a traditional electric coffee pot. With our pour-over stands, you can make the right amount of coffee at the right strength and store the stand in a cupboard when it is not in use.

At Pottery Barn Teen we have all the college packing essentials needed to make college life just a little easier for your college student.
