Bringing hot food to potluck lunch

pinkglaze

How do you ladies keep food warm once you bring it to work?  I'm bringing stuffing for a group lunch, but the lunch is at 12 and I get to work at 8.  The only thing I can think of is to make it in two 8x8 pans and just re-heat them in the microwave.  Is there another option I'm just not thinking of?

TIA.

You can use a cooler to insulate it and it shoud keep pretty warm until lunch time.

If I have to send stuff with DH I usually send it in a crockpot. Can you make a practice batch beforehand and see if it turns out okay in the crockpot?

For that amount of time, I would fridge and reheat.

I have a Pyrex glass casserole dish, which came with a carrying case and heating packets. If I bring something from my house to someone else's, it keeps it hot. I'm not sure how long it would last. I'm also not sure if they make it any more. It was given to me by my friend's grandma. It's a big glass dish, lid, heating packets and a canvas case with handles.

I am bringing mac and cheese to our company Christmas pot luck. I get to work at 7am (lunch is at noon) so same issue. I am just  bringing an electric chafing dish to heat it up in

We used an electric chafing dish last week.

The microwave would be fine too.  I would suggest bringing some extra broth, so you don't dry it out however you reheat.
