Keeping food warm on a journey

Kido

Apologies if this is not a good place to ask this question, but I can't quite work out which part of the forum would be best.

Next week myself and a few friends are helping another friend move house. As I have various dietary requirements I said I'd cook my version of paella and take it for us to eat at lunchtime. My question is, how to keep it warm for a couple of hours whilst on the move. Ideally I want to transport if in the pan which I cook it in and it does have a lid on. I was wondering if I put it in the enormous cool bag I have would that keep it warm? We can't reheat it as the microwave will no doubt be packed and knowing how disorganised my friend is I doubt it will be readily available.

Thank for any advice.

Unless your version is vegetarian, I think it would be a really bad idea to try to keep it warm for hours.

Paella is lovely cold as well as hot though, why not just have it cold?

those small portable fridges that also run on 12v have a heat as well as cool function, used one to keep sausage and bacon butties hot for a trip to the fabulous Mac loop in North Wales.

A towable field kitchen is a very useful accessory for days away:

Who packs a microwave when they move? Mine has never been 'packed'. All it needs is unplugged and the rotating plate wrapped in paper. It'll take a whole minute to organise to move it.

That'll be a lot better than risking food poisoning. Why don't you ask her to keep the microwave out until the last minute?
