First up, the rice cooker.
Far smaller than a microwave, but able to perform many of the same tasks, a rice cooker can perform the job of in-hotel-room cooking and warming of food with minimal muss and fuss.
I bought one here in Bucaramanga, Colombia, during my present trip to Buca for 15 US. It's also possible to travel with a rice cooker since it takes up only a small fraction of the space a microwave oven would require.
I bought a ricer of the brand Rekko, made in China according to the packaging. It includes an aluminum heating panel inside the main device and a detachable bowl that is about 6 inches in diameter and a bit over three inches deep.
It's not just for rice -- cooked chicken parts, veggies and sauced dishes can readily be reheated. I have even made an omelette with added ingredients.
It's easy to clean due to a non-adherent heating surface.
N.B. I do not receive any compensation for mentioning any rice cooker(s) or other products I may discuss on this thread.
