As I noted in a post above, I'm going to skip the induction plate for this solo trip. If traveling with a group it would be more worthwhile.
The 14-pound figure I noted was a maximum amount. I have a 110v induction plate that only weighs five pounds but didn't know if I could get one that light in Europe. Two pots only weigh two pounds. The remaining "weight" was for food, spices, etc., and may be overstated. Also, maybe I'm missing something, but the small butane stoves I've seen on Amazon weigh almost five pounds, which might be no lighter than an induction plate. I'm trying to find a small, portable kettle for this trip just to be able to heat some water.
