While on-campus dining likely accounts for a large portion of the food you eat at Duke, sometimes you want to bake celebratory cupcakes, or gather with your block to cook a nice meal to remind you of home. When you hunker down to do this, you may realize that you don’t actually have the tools that you’re used to seeing in your kitchen! That’s why measuring cups are a great gift (no more guesstimating with your Nalgene or solo cup!), and a baby Crockpot suddenly seems so useful. And hey, now you can stop swiping the Great Hall silverware!
