How do you keep food warm on YT+Shabbat

I'm quite loathe to leave gas on for 3 days. Got a new shabbat oven (with 72hrs+ mode) but will need something to warm up soup for the 2nd day. What is everyone doing? (Obviously assuming you're home and entertaining/

my husband holds that since we have a gas stove and there is always a fire burning in the pilots then I can turn the stove-top and oven on and off as necessary.

I use hot plate and crockpot used to use gas on yt I rewarm food on hotplate with a double broiler basically I fill pan with water and place the pan with food in it into the water best way to warm up without burning food

Plata & crockpot.

I actually didn't think about the soup until just now.... either I will use the crockpot or see if I can find where the gas line is here (just moved) and use the "hagaz" thing. Thanks for the reminder!

Just a plata on a timer.
We dont have soup.

I have oven, stove top + blech (that goes over stove top) instead of keeping the plata on.
I use a chagaz (YT gas timer).

I have a warming drawer, will probably use that, but may leave 1 gas burner on as well. If I don't do the warming drawer (it is a safety issue for one child) then the crock pot.

I keep the oven on and on the second day or so I get a fire from my neighbor and turn on the stove-I have a gas one. I also will keep the crock pot on for shabbos-cholent.

Just plata. The soup has plenty of time to heat up on it.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll keep plata on timer for the soup/reheating cooked foods. I'll need to cook for shabbat on the second day, so will probably have to leave both meaty and milky oven on at higher temperature.

If you heat soup on the platta, don't use tall, narrow pots, but wide ones not filled too high, and allow several hours for it to get very hot (a problem on the second night). The heat is not as powerful, it takes hours to get very hot, and soup far from the platta can go sour before it gets hot.

I also go the platta way.

3 days of 2 gas burners on under the blech. Hope it will not be too hot.
