Any experienced Yom tov makers?
I am hosting for the last Yom tov meal and I want to cook everything before Yom tov and just warm up on hot plate. Which foods freeze very well?

Thanks for all your responses!
What about rice?
Chicken cutlets?

chicken cutlet can get dry when reheated. It's only good if it's a recipe with a gravy or sauce so it shoudn't dry out.
You can also bread cutlets & freeze raw in single layer or with parchment paper in between layers & fry before serving.
You can prepare roll ups raw & bake before serving

As far as rice if it isn't overcooked & if it is mixed with veggies it can be frozen. You don't want it to become too mushy

For broccolli or cauliflower kugel I would underbake & bake for longer when reheating to avoid it being watery

Thanks! The only issue is that I'm only leaving a hot plate on a timer, no oven or flame, so everything must be fully cooked before.

Vegetable soup with chunks of carrots, celery, zucchini would freeze well?

Should be fine. Undercook a bit so you can still reheat it.
