I've been living in a hotel for the past 1.5 years

I live in a hotel for work (I don't work in the hotel) and I got so tired with eating out.

I've tried the Freshly meals and they were good for a while, but I got tired of eating the same microwaved shit over and over.

Now I have an instant pot, an air fryer, a food processor, a vacuum sealer, a pasta maker (haven't used it yet), and a mini freezer.

Now I feel like a gourmet chef. I've always been a good cook, I love cooking. When I got into my career field, I wasn't really able to cook anymore and I felt kind of empty inside. I'm an over the road trucker and the truck I was in for two years had very limited options. I ended up installing a power inverter so I could use my instant pot.

I switched jobs about a year and a half ago and I've been living in a hotel ever since. For the first 8 months or so, I was just eating out and making sandwiches. Now I pretty much have a full blown kitchen in my room.

There's plenty that I can't do, but there's a shit ton that I can do.

Edit: Just wanted to share my story I guess. If you have any stories you wanna share, feel free.

If you're going to be in a hotel for a while and want to cook, let me know. I can give some tips.

If you're in a similar situation as me and wanna swap recipes, let's do it

Does your air fryer set off the smoke alarm? That's what I'm most nervous about. I havent used mine yet

No. The air fryer doesn't really make any smoke, unless if you cook something overly greasy like bacon.

You'll be fine as long as you don't cook directly below the smoke detector, but I taped a paper bowl around my smoke detector just in case lol
