How to Keep Mac & Cheese Warm at a Picnic (4 Steps)
Creamy macaroni and cheese can be a delicious side dish at a barbecue, potluck or picnic. But to serve an appetizing meal and avoid illness, you need to keep the dish as hot as possible.
Things You'll Need
- Foil
- Portable warmer
Instructions
-
Cover your dish of macaroni and cheese immediately after removing it from the oven. Use a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Pinch the edges tightly closed, using oven mitts to avoid burns.
-
Place the dish into a portable, insulated carrier. Most carriers are made for standard baking dishes and have a reflective inner lining to help retain heat. Carriers can be purchased at most general goods stores, or you can make your own if you're skilled at sewing.
-
Take the dish immediately to the picnic, allowing as little time as possible for the pasta to cool.
-
Serve the macaroni and cheese from a portable heating unit, often called chafing dishes or buffet servers. Place your food container on the server, then light the fuel holders and arrange them underneath the server.
