What are your favorite things to cook in a hotel room?

I'll be traveling with an 6 quart electric kettle that can boil, steam, fry, bake etc...and a small cooler. Don't want to get smelly or messy do want to get creative! Once I made duck with plum sausage and plum sauce in a hotel room using an electric skillet in the bathroom. YUM! Send those ideas!

What are your favorite things to cook in a hotel room?
When I visited Hawaii 2 years ago, I stayed in a hotel kitchette. And since Hawaii has some great local fruits and seafood, I took advantage of that and bought whatever was in season at the local farmer's markets. I ended up making a pan- fry Mahi Mahi with a crust of macadamia nuts one night. I made a Thai inspired coconut peanut soup the next night. I have also made an omelete with the local herbs and veggies I found at the farmer's market the day before.

I also made pancakes with sauted bananas in a rum sauce using the local ingredients as well.

And since you said that you can also bake and will also have a cooler with you, you can make a french toast cassorole the night before your trip and let it sti in your cooler. Then the next morning when you wake up in your hotel room, you can bake it and then let it be ready for breakfast.

You could also make a nice chili or stew for dinner or lunch.

I would recommend that you purchase meat the night before and keep it in your cooler and cook it that day/night you arrive in your hotel (this will also help to cut on cost the first night instead of looking for a local market to purchase the meat... this way you will be able to have time to look for the best and freshest price.)

Good luck and have fun on your trip!

2. In a hurry or on your way home from work? Pick up a roasted chicken that you can buy in the deli section. Or pre-cooked meats such as pot-roasts, chops, ham, meatloaf, chicken. Ask a clerk where to find these delicious meats.



3. Sauces (not juices) such as Italian, clam, Alfredo come in jars and cans, just pour them onto cooked pasta.
