I discovered a secret on here.

kolichel or cheek meat for the best cholent!

when I googled kolichel it came up as shin.

is beef shin kolichel?

is cheek meat better?
does cheek meat have another name?

I used flanken on the bone till now.

I find the cholent quite heavy and the meat quite heavy.

if I switch to a boneless meat will it affect the cholent? does it need the bones?

I already put in a marrow bone.

Cheek Ofcourse! Kolichel is cheap and gets very dry.

If you don't like flanken because it's too heavy for you, you may not like cheek meat either. It's soft and delicious but very rich

It’s quite fatty, but a meat with less fat will be dry.
You can try finger meat though. Less heavy than cheek.

Never had dry kolichel.
Both are great for cholent, depending on your finances. Cheek meat is prohibitively expensive lately.

I just use the meat called 'chulent meat'. Its perfect.

Sorry, not helpful unless you buy from the same supplier as me.

Finger meat is a nice in-between

I use imitation cheek meat, which is noticeably cheaper than cheek meat. It’s good in the Cholent, I like it better than kolichel, but cheek meat in real form is best

cheek meat is crazy expensive where I live so is flanken the next best?

I was looking for a change of flanken.
