Sounds like you have it worked out. As I say, a lot of places have a microwave even when they have nothing else. Buen Camino.Thanks for your ideas. I have tested the small saucepan. Works fine really, but was hotter to handle compared with a ceramic mug.
I know from previous caminos that ‘sin gluten‘ food is available in many places as it is here in New Zealand. I don’t plan to do a full self-catered Camino. It’s more about having a simple back-up of things like cup-o-soup, rice porridge and tea or coffee for when I’m in a small albergue with limited facilities and when the village is small and/or it’s the weekend and shops are shut. From my research about the Ruta Teresiana, there’ll be three days walking with maybe one shop. And villages will have a bar, which may only have tapas style food, which is often on bread. I’ll carry gluten free bread and jamón and cheese too.
Do you use that with an immersion coil heater?I use a Starbucks 'to go' cup, microwavable and dishwasher safe and it weighs nothing. Never got too hot fot me to hold.
Thanks, Elle. Your guide is terrific.@Rodney Kent, you are right, that there are albergues with nothing on the Teresiana!! You are very wise to stock up with food, especially if you have special dietary needs!
Yep!Do you use that with an immersion coil heater?
Hi!Has anyone bought an immersion coil in Spain with the European plug similar to mspath’s one bought in Paris? If so, where?
I have supposedly a dual 110/220v that will require an adapter but from the clip to the bottom of the coils it is longer than most ~ 4.5 inches as compared to 110v that is usually 4 inches. It would be great to get one with the European plug. Thanks!
I'm not sure why this would be so. I have used one for many years to heat water with either an immersion heater or a microwave. While I carry an immersion heater on other travels, I have not carried one on the camino. On the other hand, my now rather battered foldable silicon cup has been on every one of my pilgrimages and many other places as well.And a silicon foldable mug I could take, but isn’t suitable for heating in.
I went to that link, and the people who have used it rather panned it. It is light (51g) and holds 400ml, but people said it bent, was nearly impossible with hot drinks. Of course, peoples' needs and mileage may vary. They did like how lightweight it is. The one (out of 15 reviews) person who rated it highest with 4 stars also uses the one I mention next, and regrets she cannot quite fit the Bugaboo inside the Infinity. About which...I used this mug on the Lana.
It’s the size -too small. And the sides seem to collapse in, so I wasn’t sure how a larger one would cope with the weight of the heater. It’d be okay in a microwave, I’d imagine.I'm not sure why this would be so. I have used one for many years to heat water with either an immersion heater or a microwave.
