Suggestions for meals in a hotel room skiing without fridge or microwave

[Anonymous]

We made reservations before Omicron and the hotel Dtss not have a fridge or microwave. We can bring an electric kettle, but all I can think is oatmeal & ramen. We want to limit Covid exposure & have been locked down too long. AirBnBs over the holiday with kitchens are cost prohibitive. Not opposed to take out, but this is across from the resort. Idea was to stay put. Thanks.

Peanut butter sandwiches. Cereal eaten with shelf stable milk?

cheese/charcuterie and bread/crackers/fruit. But seriously you will just need to do takeout. The last thing you want after a day of skiing is a cold depressing meal. We are planning to do takeout.

You're sure there's no fridge? That seems unusual.

What resort? Near a grocery store with a hot bar?

For 44 dollars, buy a microwave if it will make your life easier.

Have a loaf of bread in the room. Single serve mayo containers, canned tuna/or canned chicken. Fruit. Bagged salads. Canned vegetables (pour hot water on them, then drain). Mac 'n Cheese and similar pasta dishes you add hot water to. Boxed Juices. Bring silverware

Bring a cooler and an instant pot. So many easy dump and run recipes to choose from. Dinner will be hot when you return from skiing

My guess is they’re flying. Can’t bring a microwave or an Instapot on a plane.

Ugh we just dealt with this at Universal studios. I found out the hard way that the hot water dispenser for tea didn't really work for the instant oatmeal we brought. Hopefully your kettle will work better. I would maybe try baking some hearty muffins and bringing them with (I love the Barefoot Contessa crunchy banana muffins). I don;t have great dinner ideas - good luck and have fun. I grew up skiing at Mt Snow every Christmas.

Do you have a balcony? If there is snow outside, you can put groceries like cheese, eggs, milk, bread in a cooler or a insulated zippered bag outside.

Take a dash egg maker along. You can boil, poach, scramble eggs and even make omlettes. Make egg salad for sandwiches, or just a normal sliced egg sandwich or even a stuffed omlette sandwich. Get some sliced bread, mayo, spread, deli meat, tomatoes, cucumber, black pepper, salt, sugar etc.

You can also take an mug immersion heater and a couple of mugs. They work great for heating water, tea, milk, coffee, soups etc, as long as you are using the right mug etc.

You can make knorrs soups using their packets and hot water. Serve with grilled cheese sandwich (use a clothes iron to "grill" the sandwich wrapped in tin foil. It takes around 10 minutes to make a grilled sandwich).

Go to an Asian store to get cup of noodles and other interesting instant noodle meals. All you will need is hot water.

So, dash egg maker and an immersion heater.

I think you can also get ready to eat meals at camping stores like REI, but I haven’t actually tried them so I don’t know how helpful they would be for you.
