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 like that. Quality of life items. That’s exactly what it is. I love to cook and enjoy the act prepping food. During the hot afternoons, having something to do other than staring at my phone is helpful. And the other benefit is health and great eats!
