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?
My kit includes: a small air fryer that can cook virtually anything and everything, a toaster, a small coffee maker, an insulated coffee tumbler, 8 oz plastic tumbler with lid, one plate, one bowl with lid, one paring knife, one set of flatware, one scrub brush. Lots of plastic bags.
Nice, I feel like this is an evolved solution. What type of plastic bags? I’ve been bringing biodegradable doggie bags for my organic waste. Because of the ants, I keep all organic waste in the freezer and this bags are cheap, theoretically better for the environment and very packable.
Honestly most of the bags I use are recycled grocery bags but I do keep a supply of both quart and gallon size zip lock bags for odds and ends. I feel things take up less space in bags then boxes
