      You might want to look into an instant pot, the main advantage of these is portability but neither of these seems to have a lot of Versatility beyond what you can get out of a standard small rice cooker or crock pot. If you're just setting up a desktop kitchen for a dorm or efficiency apartment you will get a lot more mileage out of an instant pot. That being said I suspect that these are a lot cheaper then a full-blown instant pot and I consider a rice cooker one of the most wonderful tools ever conceived for a extreme budget situation.

    I love broccoli, and sugar snap peas rock! Those gadgets look useful, but I really think there's limited work environments where you could use them. Many places have restrictions on having hot pots or plates at your desk. And slow-cooking something could lead to a lot of criticism from coworkers who have to smell it cooking for lengths of time.

      I’m an RA at my university and unfortunately in the dorms a lot of these kind of products are not allowed. If we are lucky enough parents will donate a microwave in the common areas for students to use. Currently my dorm has a terrible microwave that no longer has the power to heat up food like an average microwave. Sometimes it’ll take 5-6 minutes to heat up ramen or any dish. This would be pretty neat to have if universities would allow it- but I would make sure with anyone’s college that these are allowed.
