Why would using a small kitchen appliance trip the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet that it is plugged into?

Kitchen outlets are rated at 20 amps and only dedicated for the kitchen. code states that there must be two 20 amp circuits supplying kitchen small appliances.
bedroom outlets are fed by a 15 amp circuit most likely and that circuit is most likely feeding two rooms or so.

If a small kitchen appliance is tripping the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet it is plugged into, it could be due to the difference in electrical load. The bedrooms circuit may already have a higher load from other devices plugged in, whereas the individual outlet might have a separate circuit with a lower load. The small kitchen appliance could be exceeding the capacity of the bedrooms circuit, causing it to trip. It is recommended to redistribute the load or use a different outlet on a different circuit.

Can you use two 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker?
Yes. An everyday occurrence of this circuitry is in your kitchen counter split receptacles. The top half of the receptacle is a 15 amp circuit and from the same breaker the bottom half of the receptacle is another 15 amp circuit. A two pole single handle breaker is a common trip. If one of the circuits fed from the breaker faults the other connected circuit will shut off also. If you are talking about slot position in a breaker panel, you can remove the two pole breaker and install two single pole breakers.

When the power cuts off after switching on an appliance what do I do?
You probably popped the breaker. The appliance is drawing too much current for that circuit (or is combined with too many other appliances on that circuit). Unplug it, turn the breaker back on. Try to find a different circuit to operate it on, or move other appliances to other circuits to reduce the load. If you own your residence you might be able to hire an electrician to completely rewire that circuit with larger capacity wire and breaker and changing the outlets also. This will get expensive though. I cannot use my microwave cooker and my stand mixer at the same time, together they will trip the breaker for the kitchen outlets, but one at a time is OK. It might also be an earth fault in the appliance - As stated turn off other appliances on the same circuit (that should cancel out any over load) and test again . If the breaker drops then the appliance is the issue
