Why not turn off the oven and put the Friday night food on the plata too? Especially if you're going to be using a timer and you don't have to worry about putting the lunch food on at the same time.

Interesting idea - I'll have to think that one over - after 11 years of doing Fri night food in the oven, with menus based on that, it will take a bit of adjusting! So far, Fri night food is done on automatic pilot, and everyone likes what I make, so I'm a little reticent to mess with it!

I can't think of a reason that you can't cook in the oven then move to the plata to keep it hot before Shabbat. It shouldn't necessitate a menu change.

I love my kedeira blech. I have regular blech for pesach and I find things get very dried out or scorched, which doesn't happen on the kedeira.

A lot of times we have mostly the same meal for shabbos day as we did for Friday night, although of course no soup. I often heat up the side dishes (kugel, couscous, etc.) on the blech and we eat those with cholent and a salad.

Do you know why it keeps the food moist?
Is it a lower temperature, or do you think steam escapes from the "pot" of the kedeira blech?

Before shabbos I turn up the oven to 500, add the hot food and then turn off the oven.
Either I would heat up food on top of the crockpot or put a pan upside down on the blech on the element and heat on that but only dry food, nothing in sauce.

If you flip the lid of your crockpot over, it makes it much easier to warm things on top of it. No precarious balancing act needed.

I tried that once, and now the plastic of my crockpot lid handle is discoloured a cracked.
I'm guessing there's a trick to doing that I hadn't thought of.
