Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Recipes: Cuisinart CWT-240 19-by-12-Inch Warming Tray Review

Average Reviews:
4.3 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Cooking is not allowed on Shabbat, but keeping cooked food warm during Shabbat (and in some cases, warming up cooked food that is cold) is not only permissible, but considered part of the mitzvah of making Shabbat a delight. There are three techniques one can use to keep food warm.

The first option is to use a "blech" (from the German by way of Yiddish word for tin or sheet metal). It is a metal sheet used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the knobs/dials too) on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halachic prohibition against cooking on the Sabbath. The burners under the 'blech' can be set to low and will stay on throughout the sabbath. Food that is already cooked can be placed on top of the 'blech' and warmed.

Another option is to set the oven to a very low temperature (200 Degrees F)and put casseroles and pots with food in the oven to keep them warm.

The third option is to use an electric warming tray. This warming tray was purchased for the purpose of keeping food warm on Shabbat. The temperature stays low enough that food cannot be cooked, but warm enough to keep food warm, especially nice on a cold, winter night. The tray is well made, and easy to clean. It is also large enough to keep several dishes warmed. Overall, an excellent tray that met our needs perfectly.
