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

Damn, I can't believe no one has invented a service where you go online, buy stuff and have it delivered to you wherever you may be or are going. Probably would be difficult in places like Amazon though.

Exactly. Walmart will deliver a $40-50 small microwave to your AirBnB door.

So don’t advertise that you have it. Throw a blanket over it before you carry it in and when it’s not in use in the room.

Duh.

Seriously. Why are you traveling to ski??? You need to go into the lodge to go to the bathroom. There is already exposure just being at the mountain and hotel. Go out to eat or get take out. Enjoy yourself on vacation. Or cancel. Your plan sounds miserable.

Even a holiday Inn express has a mini fridge and microwave.


What hotel chain is this Op? Is this on-site at the resort?

+1 to outdoors for cold storage. Then with kettle you can do tea/coffee/soup/oatmeal.

You could also ship an Instant Pot ahead or pick up there depending on your travel logistics. I think you could actually carry an Instapot on as long as it would fit in a sturdy shopping back (like the ones from Marshalls/TJMaxx or the smaller one from Ikea). It might be a hassle, but I don't think it's prohibited.

From a risk standpoint, I don't understand why you'd be worried about doing takeout.

I interpreted the OP to say they wanted to stay put as in not drive around looking for/picking up food, not so much that they were worried about risks. Or, that they are flying and have a shuttle to the hotel, but no car.

OP, the restaurants you were thinking you could walk to may have "curbside" pick up that you can walk to. See if you can order ahead in the morning for dinner.

Look into HeaterMeals. These are the self-heating meals that truckers often use when they are on long-hauls. They use a chemical reaction to heat the meal (the chemicals do not get into the food). Kind of like self-cooking TV dinners. Not the best, but should suffice to give you some breaks from all take-out meals.

I forgot to add that if you are driving to the hotel, that many truck stops, especially those ones that cater to long-haulers with showers and such, will usually have a selection of Heater Meals available for purchase.

This sounds like the worst trip ever. I would rather stay home and stare at the wall.

Tuna and chicken in packets

Cheese and vacuum sealed meats.

I suppose you could use a bowl of hot water to warm tetrabricks of soup or jars of meaty pasta sauce or shelf stable hotdogs and cans of baked beans.

Grilled cheese with the clothes iron.

You can do it! Just have to be creative.
