Recipe FAQ's

Cover hot dishes tightly with foil and wrap the pan in a thick kitchen towel to help hold in the heat. For casseroles or egg bakes, use an insulated carrier to keep them warm until you arrive at the school or church. If you’re bringing a slow cooker dish, transport it with the lid secured and plug it in as soon as you get there so it stays at a safe serving temperature.
It’s usually best to warm the food at home so it’s fully cooked and ready to serve. Keep it covered and insulated during transport, then rewarm briefly once you arrive if the kitchen has space or an outlet is available. For school or church events with limited oven access, bring the dish already hot and keep it warm in an insulated carrier or slow cooker.
