We are planning to go to a hotel in August for shabbos. I need to bring my own food. I am planning on making my choldet in a crock pot. Do I cook it first in my house or I put it together in the hotel? We will probably be arriving in the hotel around 3 - 4:00

how long is it from your place to the hotel?

rule of thumb is that you take all food either boiling hot, or really cold/frozen when you are at the starting point. I once took warm chicken soup + hot day = had to buy frozen chicken at destination and cook soup in two hours.

I have quite a bit of experience going away and taking food

what about the rest of the food?
do you need to take with disposables and basic kitchen supplies?
do you need help making a list of things to pack?


pack whatever you can before the day of departure

Just got back from vacation. I froze my food in advance and traveled w an ice box for abt 7 hrs. Everything was still rock frozen when we got there b"h.

As for cholent, I always microwave my beans in water for 10 min, eliminating gas and dirt, (amazing how black water gets) so I did the same at home.
I put the beans in crockpot liner bag with all the spices, made a knot, and just put water in crockpot in hotel, put in bag, added water and a pack of flanken. Easy breezy cholent!!!

When I bring along my own cholent, I prepare a Ziploc bag with hot soaked beans barley and seasonings, and then a separate bag with meat. Freeze them solid.
Take frozen bags on our trip along with a crockpot bag. And then set up the cholent, add water, and turn on the crockpot at the hotel.
