Anyone travel with kitchen utensils? lol. I know it sounds ridiculous but I stay in each spot for 6 months, get a local apartment and eat as healthy as possible so cooking is important.

What I have been doing is just buying what’s missing each time, usually around $200-300. Blender, spatula, knife sharpener, non aluminum fry pan, food storage containers, 2 large plastic cups for my smoothies (I make 2 days at a time), stuff like that.

But I also make my own desserts, to avoid white processed sugar and feed my addiction, and this gets a little more complicated. Today I bought 2 metal bowls, measuring spoons/cups and I want to buy a food scale and an oven thermostat. 😁

I usually donate the stuff to friends or the apartment owner when I leave.

But lately I have been thinking out might be easier/better to just bring another bag with me like a rolling suitcase and pack a small but complete kitchen so I don’t have to buy every time. I think an extra bag was $35 each way.

It’s an enormous amount of time finding all these things in a new place as well, although it helps me figure where to get supplies quickly.

Any other people out there living similar and encountering the same struggle?

    I just use whatever is in the apartment already, has never really been a problem but I am not a chef.

    Here is a tip for both airbnb & booking.com, if the pictures all show nothing but shit from IKEA, don’t rent it because the owners don’t actually live there and chances are they skimped on kitchenware too.
