"Holiday rental homes can be a lottery for anyone actually planning to cook. Having recently spent four months in rentals around Europe and the UK, I am a battle-weary veteran of self-contained accommodation with advertised features including a coffee-maker that was just a small stainless steel milk jug, and a kitchenette that comprised a bench and an air fryer. At such times, it pays to have a truckload of resourcefulness and a small but effective travelling toolkit."
"Blades that actually cut and slice rather than bruise and dent are within your grasp if you pack a small pull-through knife sharpener. Other essentials for cooking away from home include: An immersion heater a lightweight, handheld device to heat up water in a mug. A lifesaver in hotel rooms without coffee and tea-making facilities. Remember your universal adaptor too. A plastic champagne sealer one that's lightweight and effective. You're in holiday mode so make those bubbles last!"
Holiday rentals often lack adequate kitchen equipment, leaving travellers to improvise. Carry-on options can include a small pull-through knife sharpener to restore dull blades, an immersion heater to make hot drinks, and a lightweight plastic champagne sealer to preserve bubbly. Checked luggage allows packing a proper knife (ideally with a sheath) and a portable coffee-maker such as an Aeropress, along with filters and a small amount of preferred coffee if permitted. Resourcefulness and a compact travelling toolkit make self-catering much more practical and enjoyable on short stays.
