Cooking in hotel rooms while travelling

[GrahamM]

Am going on a 8 week holiday around the world staying in hotels along the way. Can anyone give me advice but cooking in hotel rooms.

Am not staying in suites so I have do not have cooking equipment but have been on long trips before and I get bored eating out. I know air line crew have various methods of doing this. I heard of electric frying pans being one. Any help would be useful. Thank you.

I can't give advice on how to cook but would imagine that most hotels have smoke detectors fitted in the rooms. Cooking stuff on an electric frying pan or other such thing would surely set them off.

Can't you just go self catering?

Boiling eggs in kettles is do-able, but seriously boring. In Asia, it is cheapest to eat at street stalls, and if you pick a busy one it means the locals approve.

motels in Australia and New Zealand very often have a little kitchenette in each room, and it's common for people to do their own cooking in them. US ones don't but it's easy and cheap to eat at diners there.

Whilst Inter-railing as a teenager I once heated up a tin of beans by tying it with string underneath the shower nozzle and letting the shower run hot water onto the tin for an hour. I got reasonably warm beans but must have used all the hotel hot water.
