I can keep my hot plate on a timer but most timers seem to be 24 hours, how does that work when you need it for 3 days? I never used one before so maybe I’m not understanding.

I have an oven with Shabbat mode but that turns off after 24 hours. It’s a Siemens oven and I don’t know how to override that.

I can’t keep on a flame because I have a induction stove top. Help and ideas wanted!!

Just curious, did you buy an induction stove top or it's a part of your kitchen so to say?

The 24 hour cycle will just keep going until unplugged, unless you have a different timer than what I see most people using.

Are you sure you're setting the sabbath mode correctly? It should not auto shut off on sabbath mode, that's half the point of sabbath mode

I think my MIL has an induction cooktop and she keeps hers on, why specifically are you not able to?

I’m not comfortable keeping it in for 3 days plus it makes the house really hot.

I rent so I had no say in the stove top. I do love it though!

Shabbat mode- that’s what I thought but this seams to have a 24 limit.. I will check again.

She keeps it on? How? The minute you touch it something beeps. It’s not Shabbos friendly at all.

Try it before yomtov on a regular weekday to make sure you do it correctly

Set the 24 hour timer for the same two meal times. It will go on and off at the same times every 24 hours, and will be on at the same times every day.
If your day meal is generally at 12:30pm, have the timer set to go on at 10:30am and go off at 2:30pm every. If your night meal is generally at 9:00pm, have the timer hot plate go on around that as well.

Sometimes I arrange my menu with only the last day meal using the gas range flame for fresh food. I then turn it a flame on the last day using a pre-existing flame I have, and keep it on until YT is over.

Once you have it in your hand, I think it will be obvious to you. Good luck!!! Smile

Maybe try it tonight- put it on sabbath mode and see if it shuts off after 24 hours. It shouldn't if it's working correctly. Do you have the manual? maybe you can check

Oh so then maybe hers is different. Her's doesn't do that. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what an induction cooktop is

That's why I put it on my closed in porch.
Not every Rav will allow a timer. Do a shayla.

Induction hobs are a problem for shabbos as they detect when the pot is on and will only work when the pot is on. Also they usually will auto shut off after a certain amount of hours.
We bought a cheap plug in electric hob that we can set on a timer to use instead of our normal hob.

I double checked it definitely goes off after 25 hours. Shabbat mode because the light goes off.

Off topic but how do I reply without losing all the those quotes you quoted??? Or how do I quote 2 separate quotes? And no I’m not new here 😆

Sorry it was a few years ago. I think we just searched on amazon for plug in hob and bought whichever looked cheapest and reasonable quality.

If you take out your food a couple hours before the meal it usually warms up pretty quick on the platta. Soup sometimes take a bit longer but we have had meat/chicken/sides of rice/vegies warm up within an hour and get quite hot with the platta. Mark all your food (either on tin foil,or tape onto container) which food is for what meal. Great to have a couple fish meals to stay light.
