Get & Take-With, a small Rice Cooker
my *latest* must-have kitchen/cooking *appliance* is a small rice cooker::::: use it as you would a crock pot, as i did on my recent trip.
for example,
a few days ago (in Lucea counry),
for breakfast:::
i prepared some steel cut oatmeal & quinoa
with several ackee pods/fruit (that I plucked myself from a tree in the yard)
yummy yummy yummmmmmmmy
&
sooooooooooo nutritious
as with a crock pot,
you can cook meat (e.g., chicken) and/or vegetables therein.
A *possible* down-side::::>>> Jamaica being as it is, the JPS (the electric power company) will have to be *cooperative*, and not have the current/power locked-OFF
:-(
Significant Up-side & Benefits:::
1...whatever you cook/prepare will be done & ready-to-eat within 45 minutes.
2...nutriants retained
3...flavor & taste enhanced
Suggestion:::>> PRACTICE & experiment with the rice-cooking-process BEFORE you leave-foreign.
tip:::>> pack an extra extension cord.
the small rice cooker is light weight (for packing), and takes up no space in your luggage.

Another Rice Cooker Recipe idea
recently, in-country
for breakfast
i added some fresh-picked cubed and/or sliced green bananas
which were added to the ackee & grain concoction.
tip:::>> experiment and play-with your food..!!..
ESPECIALLY with the Jamaican foods & ingredients:::: because they are soooooo tasty.
a NICE drink::::>>> sour sop & water
usually a similar sour sop beverage is made with milk,
but it's DELICIOUS and better for you,
(unless you're a baby cow)
if you use just plain 'ole water.
blend the sop flesh with water
strain
chill (or add ice)
drink
optional::>> add FRESH ground nutmeg

Toasted tomato sandwiches for lunch. You can fry up bacon and keep it in the fridge and make a BLT. Potato chips on the side. Make a pasta salad. Buy some jerk chicken as the main add pasta salad.

Kraft Dinner. Steam some calaloo, fry some hamburger, mix in with cooked KD and then add the cheese. Simple, delishious, and easy to make. Make extra, as the leftovers can some times even be more delishious.
