Cool! Does the cholent cook that way? Or just stay warm? And you leave the oven on? I actually don't own a crockpot, I've been making cholent in a pot on the stove as long as I've been making cholent. But I've never heard of doing it in the oven. What do you wrap in it?


Actually it works beautifully. The first time I did it was in 2013. I was meeting my best friend for the first time. And she was raised baptist and has a non kosher kitchen, I only bought like one pan for eggs and stuff and maybe one pot for pasta... I didn't even buy a toaster oven (yet.. I now have three at her place 😂)

Anyways, I wanted to make shabbat something really nice for her. So of course that meant traditional shabbat food like cholent. Took a 9*13, cut potatoes and onions on the bottom. A few garlic cloves. A package of cut up beef stew on top and then realized I'd forgotten to get beans and barley.. the grocery store with the decent kosher section was 40 mins away, and it was already Friday morning!

In desperation I looked in her cabinet, maybe she happened to have something with a kosher symbol on it and BH I found a random package for rice with an ou. "We are going to be Sephardi!" I exclaimed. Then had to explain that rice as a more Sephardic think than Ashkenazi.

I put the rice on top of my cholent, put my 2/3rd suck sauce to 1/3 mustard standard dressing on top. Wrapped that pan at least three or four times around the whole thing, bc it was going into a non kosher oven. And I wanted to be sure every inch was double wrapped. (Later my brilliant mother pointed out I could have put that pan in a second pan to get the bottom double wrapped instead of putting foil around the whole thing, would have made it a lot easier to undo)

It was early Friday.. before noon on a summer summer shabbat and I put the wrapped cholent in at 400° and continued with my cooking. I don't remember what else I made, but if your interested, I could ask my bestie, she remembers things like that better than me.. plus.. it's more of an impact memory for her.

Anyways, right before we lot candles b'zman I turned her oven down to warm. .. I think it was less than 200°... Her family gave me control of the kitchen for shabbat so I didn't have to worry about anything becoming not kosher, or Shabbat issues. It was really nice.

The next day at around noon, we took the cholent out, I think I ended up ripping the foil a bit... Because opening the wrapper might have been hard to hold it and unwrap. And OMG.. it was so delicious. Bestie, loved the cholent the taste and texture. Everything. The next day she warmed it up for her cousins and they all loved it too.

I almost always make it when I go to visit her now.

Neither. I prefer a healthy balance. Stable.
Of course we're only human and we have our high moments - feelings of excitement, joy, etc. and low moments - upset, sad, etc.
But I wouldn't want the "pendulum" of feelings to stay just on one side. BE'H.


After giving birth, help: free meals from friends and neighbors or several hours a week of free cleaning help?
