I'm curious if anyone uses this on the blech for cholent.

What is the process, how do you keep food cooked, but not spoiled?

How do you clean the pot?

If its seasoned already you may need to kasher it in self cleaning oven cycle and re season with oil. This is the case with my cast iron skillets. Just an fyi.

Do you cook fully before shabbos or put up 1/3 cooked? Does it stay hot on a blech?

How do you wash it?

It's a ceramic covered cast iron casserole dish. It doesn't need kashering, just toiveling.

My sister has the Lodge enameled cast iron. She said it makes the best cholent she's ever tasted and cleans like a breeze.
She even stopped putting "extras" in her cholent. Only beans, chicken and salt. No onion even. Said it doesn't need it anymore.
