Please don't use tealights in a closed oven. There have been numerous explosions from this method of food warming.


thank you for saying this. I thought it was a great idea until I saw your warning:

Quote:
Flash point is the temperature at which a candle or wax gives off enough vapor to ignite the air. Paraffin wax, which is the wax most tea light candles are made of, has a low melting point (about 130°F). If this liquid reaches the flash point, it will combust and create a flame, which then has the possibility to ignite all of the other tea lights in your oven. This could get extremely dangerous for several reasons: 1. It could be hard to put out. (You cannot blow on the candles as it could cause the liquid to spread, and water wouldn’t be your best option either due to splashing. Having a fire extinguisher handy would be your best bet.) 2. If the oven has been left unattended, it could catch nearby items on fire as well

According to the Fire Research Lab in Ammendale, MD, the Flash Point of a Paraffin Wax candle is between 204-271°C (or about 400-520°F). If your candles are in an enclosed area they can reach this point much quicker than they could if they were in an open area.

Use a little more than half of this spice rub for 1 chicken in the crockpot and refrigerate overnight.
Place breast side down in the crockpot, cover and cook on low for 6.5 hours. Perfection.
You can do baby red potatoes underneath and the full meal comes out delicous but if you don't need the extra side dish I love the chicken itself when it creates its own juice and sits it in as it slow cooks.


You can put potatoes in a crock pot with no liquid but what what drips out of the chicken and they will cook through?

Yes. I toss them with olive oil and some seasoning and it cooks through.

OP, do you have access to a safe outdoor area? Because if you want to cook on chag, you could consider getting disposable barbecue grills, and get a burger/wings/sausages meal in there somewhere...

Nope, Chartreuse. I live in Manhattan so I am barbecue deprived.

For preparing for yom tov, not re-heating use a microwave. You can easily make rice/pasta in the microwave etc.

It's this one. I'm going to try it (without the ground beef, obvs). I'll probably use ricotta cheese instead of cottage. I have used Morningstar farms crumbles instead of ground beef for lasagna, but my kids prefer plain cheese.
