What Do You Do For Kosher Food While Traveling?

[Luvtotravel]

Does it really make a difference between 10 hours and several days?

yes

[Dan]

Absolutely.

[Centro]

Interesting, I'm curious what's the logic behind it.

Deeper freeze=stays frozen longer.

[ushdadude]

Our POM meals were still frozen 24 hours/3 flights later with no ice just in a regular suitcase.
Meals that have been frozen for several days will stay frozen for quite a while.

+1 our meal the first night took 2 hours to heat up

Anywhere to pick up POM type meals in Lakewood for a quick getaway? They need a few days notification plus a  day to get to lakewood..

Deep freeze as POM freezer is "stronger" then reg household freezer? Any difference If I pick up the food a few days earlier and store it in my reg house freezer?

I'm sure any takeout or restaurant can do it for you.

Any hotels in Jerusalem heat up POM meals?

Why would you want/need POM meals in Jerusalem?

[ushdadude]

I would probably use a local takeout rather then try to figure out shipping. I'm hoping to use traditions in 5t for my upcoming trip.

Food was excellent! I'll give my opinion on what I ordered when I find a copy of our menu but overall I was really happy

I love traditions food fresh and most of it froze and reheated well. The hotel we were at uses a steam oven to reheat so that may impact the way it tastes versus a traditional oven. I didn't love how they packed the box. it was just a couple of tins in a delivery box with too much room. we ended up stuffing newspaper in the box and it worked out well.

Breaded Chicken Cutlets- great flavor but a little soggy

• mashed potatoes- great
• grilled vegetables- also great

Teriyaki strip steak- awesome but more vegetables than meat

• onion rings- not recommended. they had good flavor but all the breading was soggy and fell off

Pastrami burger- phenomenal. We had them prepare it with everything but the buns (we brought our own) we also had them cook it to rare so when we heated it up it became medium
Tenderloin Steak- incredible

• kishka- good but not as good as fresh
• barley- excellent

Honey mustard chicken cutlets- very good (not something i would normally order but dw really liked them)

• baked potato- very good
• spinach- awesome

chopped steak- meh. was basically a really big burger without the fixings. kinda dry

• brown rice- good

herb grilled chicken- again very good but not something i would normally order but dw really liked them

So you had ordered traditions food from 5t and had them double pack it for you and you froze for your trip? was it warmed up in oven or microwave?

They double wrapped it and froze it for me. I had then prepare it for oven. Everything also had a sticker with exactly what was inside.

I have used Traditions on 2 trips and have been very happy as well.

Same praise for the Tenderloin steak, I also recommend their balsamic glazed chicken cutlets which are on their regular menu, can be made with white meat or dark cutlets. Their schnitzel and poppers were also really good, not dried out at all. The sides we enjoyed most were the barley, string beans, potato kugel, grilled vegetables, and the broccoli kugel they made special even though not on their menu. They are beyond accommodating. I ordered all meat rare as well so would be nice and pink even after heating.

Too hard to figure out what's kosher there.

Nice, can this be done through the Brooklyn location as well?

You may want to check with with your LOR, but warming up foods in a steam oven can be very different from warming up foods in a conventional oven where double wrapping helps.

Is each POM meal actually enough to feed two people? I've heard that from a few people but last thing I want to do is be stuck in MLE with not enough food.
