Have Kitchen Will Travel

 Many home chefs love nothing more than a vacation. They also love to cook too, which proves a quandary. Do they bring their gear with them? Or see what awaits them at their vacation home?

Some holiday going  home chefs  are thinking about bringing their air fryers with them. This can be great because there's a familiarity with the controls. There's no learning about a new stove and adapting from gas to electric or vice versa.It also cooks food quicker too.Shrimp can easily be cooked up in less than ten minutes.Home made crab cakes can be air fried in just minutes. It's also good for making bacon and even cinnamon rolls for breakfast. There are smaller air fryers that are perfect to bring on a holiday. Try the Vortex Four In One which can also roast and broil. This is perfect for steaks and chicken pieces tooIt can also reheat, great for all those restaurant leftovers. There;s also the Cosori which is  sleek three to seven quart one.It also tells you when to shake the food too for even browning. You many want to bring a grill instead. Cooking out can be better because you're not messing up the kitchen where you're staying (although some motels and campsites do have barbecue areas). A portable, folding grill is perfect for cooking easy vacation foods like hot dogs and hamburgers.

What about other kitchen basics? Should you bring your knife set with you? Yes, if you feel like you'll need it , especially for deboning fish and chopping veggies. Don't bring the entire set. Good bread, paring and fish knives are all you need for a week or two of holiday prep and cooking.Keep in mind that you're never far from a Target or Wal-Mart where you can also buy these if you forget any of them. If you're barbecuing , plan on bringing tongs and a barbecue fork. Other items are containers for leftovers and raw ingredients. There are even egg containers where you could bring a dozen eggs safely and without any breakage. If your rental has a microwave, it doesn't hurt to pack some microwave plates and pots for cooking and reheating. You can even tote along your microwave corn popper for a healthy snack to enjoy at night. Should your favorite mugs get packed with the beach towels and sunscreen?If you want to , yes. They can not only hold coffee and tea but soup if you're craving it. They can also be used for making mug cakes too, if you're craving a homemade baked treat.

Yes, you can bring your kitchen or part of it with you on vacation. It can make for easier cooking  in a strange space. Just pack and go - that's it.
