The kitchen is not kosher, oven is too gross to clean or kasher
Have a crock pot for cholent
I can double wrap the kugel
What about challah, soup, chicken? My challahs defrosted and I refroze them when we got here so they may taste awful if not reheated
Also how do I double wrap kugel? It’s in a foil pan with a cover now. Thanks!

How about double wrapping and place in top of the crock pot and the challah on each side of The crockpot and I hope someone has an idea for the soup.. and for the chicken you can put it on top of the crockpot after you take the challahs off before kiddish

So it was you peeking thru the window of my Airbnb! I wondered what happened to Mah Tovu oholecha Yaakov.

So guess you saw what I did, but I'll post anyway, I'll be Dan l'kaf z'chus that it wasn't you.

Anhour before Shabbos when we realized, we double wrapped the kugel, shnitzel and hot veg (triple wrapped really, the oven was not clean), switched the oven off just before lighting so it was still pretty much warm.

Boiled the soup on the hob, and put it inside crock-pot, the lid of which covered both.

We put the challos on top of the slow-cooker.

Shame I didn't realize that the face in window was Jewish, we forgot to bring toilet paper, you could've lent us some. Before you ask why we didn't just tear some, it's bec I was frantic trying to warm up Shabbos with a hot-plate gone AWOL, and my kids refused to tear it, they said 'It's a vacation, I shouldn't ask them to do slave labor'!

True Story.

Umm...if you're wondering what we did for toilet paper...

Can you find some sort of griddle in a walmart/target and use it as a hotplate?

Can you pour the soup into a crockpot bag, knot it, and place on top of the cholent, under the crockpot lid? You'll need to he careful when you remove the hot bag, becuase it's hot and it's easy to tear the bag and lose all the soup. But if you place the bag into a disposable pan and cut it open you can pour the soup out from there.
Otherwise you can warm the soup on the stovetop (gas burners kasher themselves every time the flame is turned on) in a pan right before the zman, and wrap in foil.
Challah will need to be warmed over the cockpot.

Thank you for that idea!
The stove top is flat electric - not induction but not the coils one so not sure how to kasher

Yes shnitzels were a bit soggy. The challos I didn't put in the oven, put on top of crock-pot, they weren't as nice as usual but okish. No-one complained!

It must've been you at the window, you saw us kashering the electric-not-induction-hob!

To Kasher:
1) Clean hob
2) Turn on 2* rings till at maximum hear (till red light goes off)
3) Leave on for 30 mins on highest
4) Switch off
5) Repeat for next two

*Do two at at a time. Don't overheat by doing all 4 together.

Pleasure!

Thanx for the offer of toilet paper, but it was last week. Now we're home, where we have 4 cases of Shabbos toilet paper.

Why du have 4 cases you ask? Bc DH found them cheap, he saved 90c a case. So he bought a 2 year supply. He hates flushing money down the toilet.

I sometimes uncover my croc pot. Put silver paper on top of Cholent and then put all my food on top and cover with a towel. Should work for shnitzel and challah. Dunno about soup because I usually boil before

For the future, it’s mutter to cut toilet paper off a roll on Shabbos if there’s no precut toilet paper available. It’s best not to cut along the dotted lines, rip the paper unevenly between them

You can use it while it's still on the roll, then drape the roll into the toilet and flush (g'rama) . The water tears it, I asked about this once, and was told tearing normally is not ok.

do u have a real metal pot for soup or disposable pot? if ur stovetop is kashered then boil soups and if y have real metal u can keep it warm by wrapping it first in a towel and then in a big blanket. we used to do this every week. if it’s disposable don’t do it. it’ll b too flimsy.
