Beware the 7-Eleven Microwave

Not that I ever use the microwave at the quickymart, but this is another good reason not to:

Ew.

I was considering meal prepping on road trips so I wouldn't have to eat fast food/junk on the road too.  Trip to Florida coming up means several meals on the go.

Nowadays, you'd use one of those infrared thermometers instead of your finger, I guess.

I'm not touting stuff from Amazon, just pointing out that road trip cooking has been a "thing" for a while.

The ways of heating food are manifold.

WHATEVER YOUR DEFINITION OF "INFRINGE " IS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING IT.

1500W inverters are cheap enough, and the specs for this thing show that would be plenty: https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-1560384/americana-by-elite-3-in-1-mini-breakfast-shoppe.jsp

Go Asian. I saw a family take over a rest stop. They came in, sat all over the floor, plugged in the rice cooker and electric kettle and proceeded to work on what looked like a ten course lunch. I usually just pack cold stuff, or trail mix, apples, boiled eggs. That will get me through enough states that I enter the land of Steak and Shake.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I've warmed food on an older vehicle before.  I'd just rather not mess with anything under the hood of the truck these days.

Those work really well and don't draw much power.

I have one of these in my office. Nice piece of kit. It keeps me from having to use the oh so questionable microwave here at work.

WAFFLE HOUSE !!!!!
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
