What's in my flight attendant cooler/lunch bag?

Fascinating, as always, Steven. Seriously. That wasn't sarcasm. No matter what you talk about, I enjoy listening to you. You are so open and honest about everything, even old, leaking packets of hot sauce. Thank you for just being you and not putting on an act. We love you just the way you are!!💝

Steven, when your car get anxious, put on cat TV on you tube, especially when you go to pottery class. It works.

Thinking of gifting my son the heat thing. He is a neighborhoods pool supervisor . Goes from pool to pool all any and no access to microwave and he likes cooked food.

[@flightattendantsteven]

It's invaluable...they even have one powered by what used to be called the cigarette lighter in a car. So he could heat up food as he drives. Have him check out a KZbin channel by Rick Mammana for some ideas.

[@lb1344]

@@flightattendantsteven Hi Steven, I just showed my son your video and I said oh he gave me hearts and replied to my comments. My son read them and gave the replies two thumbs up. He said absolutely it will work for him. I’m going to get him one. I subscribed and hit the bell so that I see the recipe video. I’ll try it for my son so he could get the same experience as you with the whole using freezer bag and bring glass container thing. Very helpful. Now I’m hunting down your other videos for ideas for him.

I have the same metal straws as you, and have been using them for a long time. I also purchased collapsible (travel) metal straws from Amazon and have found them to be indispensable. They come in their own case with a cleaning “brush” and a keychain attachment. There are many brands, some better than others.

[@rachelduke1580]

Ok your old condiments make me feel better about mine 🤣 and I like what's in my bag videos because I'm always looking for new ideas for food to bring on trips. ALSO if you like Mac and cheese stop at the Tillamook store in the pdx Airport next time you're there! So creamy and so yummy!

[@sandrap3047]

Smart to bring food with you so you don’t have to buy food! I love bread, rice & pasta too! Carbs are my weakness & yes I’m heavy too! Friend has done keto. She’s lost 60 lbs. I’m going to try it. My heart breaks at the thought of giving up carbs but have to do it! What is life without pasta? ☹️

[@xXxSapphir3xXx]

I love when you do these videos! I work 13 hour shifts, hour drive plus shower time means I don't have much time to sleep or prepare between back to back days. I am always looking for good, quick meals that aren't terrible for you! I can't tell you how much I respect your restraint, to pack those things and not order stuff on the go, but everyone knows PB&J is supposed to go on white bread!

[@flightattendantsteven]

LOL! But wheat bread travels better... doesn't get as squished!

[@michellemerry3592]

With all those chop sticks you could have a Chinese food party with the whole crew! When I become cabin crew I’ll rewatch this for great ideas. I remember in the olden days (1988) the airline catered meals for all crew members. Stay safe.

[@fionakeenan6007]

Steven you have more food in your lunch bag than I do in my entire kitchen lol. I'm dying to try the animal crackers you love, I have just found out they are in our Costco here in Oz . Great vid as always ♥️😉

[@tazz378]

if you have a electric kettle. You can make rice. Use 1 cup minute rice, 1 cup hot water, a little butter and salt and pepper if desired. Put everything in a tupperware container put the lid on and let it set for 5 minutes or until the water is gone. If I'm making minute rice this is how I do it. The can of Chili that you have plus some melted cheese if you have it would be yummy.

[@flightattendantsteven]

I'll try that. It's just that these little premade bowls of rice are just so handy.

[@tazz378]

@@flightattendantsteven But making it my way is a lot cheaper. You do this several times a month and you could probably put an extra 5 bucks on the principal of your mortgage with our missing the money..

Have you considered pre-making your smoothie? You place it in a freezer bag to store in your cooler. Then pour it in a cup to drink. Then there's no need to pack a blender

[@flightattendantsteven]

I'd get a little nervous about a smoothie in a bag...I can handle if pasta leaks, but a smoothie? LOL! I'll try it though. I often use the fruit we get in a grab-n-go breakfast from the hotel as a base for a smoothie.

[@claudiavdk8282]

I never thought that you could pack ice packs in your hand luggage or take a cooler bag with you. Or are ordinary passengers not allowed to do that? The video is great, have fun and stay healthy. Greetings from Germany

[@flightattendantsteven]

Howdy! I don't think passengers would be able to bring ice packs on board. Flight attendants have some extra allowances. But, a passenger could certainly bring a cooler on board with food (check with your airline/airport/boarder control... especially if you're traveling internationally. Many foodstuffs can't cross boarders.) bring some zip top plastic bags to fill with ice at the airport. (You could ask a restaurant for ice, I guess, or see if they'll sell you a few cups if ice once you've passed airport security.

[@margaretalletson84]

Just curious,do flight attendants have a carry on weight limit?Enjoyed this vlog,was different.

[@flightattendantsteven]

I don't know if we ever did have a weight limit. But recently I believe the FAA has been looking into weighing our bags. So maybe there will be a weight limit at sometime soon. I don't know.

I have a serious question about the hot logic mini. I've heard ppl say it takes an hour to heat up food? That seems long. To me, running down to a microwave and heating up food would be more efficient.

[@flightattendantsteven]

Sometimes I just don't want to leave the room. And I'll be taking a nap, going out on an excursion and other things where I could leave my food in the hot logic mini and have a hot and ready for when I want to eat. It's more convenient than it sounds. I also don't have to put pants on to get my food ready. Lol! Oh and, and besides it seems to heat the food more evenly and thoroughly than a microwave. I totally prefer it! If I have time.

[@TheDiverpro]

I wanna see more about your hot logic! My manager bought us all a hot logic because we don’t have microwaves at all of our sites.

[@flightattendantsteven]

Do a search for a KZbin channel by Rick Mammana. He has TONS of videos about really cooking (instead of heating up) food in his HotLogic. Super cool!

[@LeahLeah222]

Lol you have everything but the kitchen sink!!!

[@nomaddag4402]

Thank you, sir. My girlfriend is a new flight attendant, and she is looking for a new lunch bag. The one you use looks perfect to suit her needs. The HotLogic mini is also a fantastic idea. Are there any other must-haves that a clueless boyfriend could get her? As you probably know, she doesn't make fantastic money yet. Thanks again for the very informative video.

[@flightattendantsteven]

I find my Klikk cutlery set (along with a collapsible silicone bowl) to be indispensable. Hit Amazon and do a search for, Koziol KLIKK cutlery set 4003671. (My favorite color set is available on the MOMA website... museum of modern art) I use that cutlery set on the plane and on every layover. It's kind of expensive for a cutlery set but it's so nice.
