Take it or leave it?

I cook a lot also and want a well equipped kitchen when we are on the road, 2-3 months at a time. Having said that I have converted to using some bought sauces, i.e. bottled arrabiata sauce, Alfredo sauce, some Mexican sauces, etc. which makes prep a lot less complicated. I also make lots of soups and sauces at home and freeze them in quart zip locks. They stack easily in the freezer and don't take up a lot of room. However, I still keep a small hand mixer, food processor, crock pot (albeit smaller than my home one), toaster, and waffle maker in the fiver. I also use a panini grill at home, but on trips I use an iron skillet to press the sandwich. It works fairly well. One of the greatest things I have found is a collapsible colander which lays relatively flat in the cabinet, or will stand on its side. I think I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond, but am not sure about that.
