Keeping meals warm

Make dinner for 5 minutes after he gets home.

I use an upturned large pyrex bowl, find it fits the plate OK and doesn't squish it all flat, plus it can go in the microwave if I get 'that' phone call from the office.

You could use a metal sponge cake tin upside down... or a plate as others have said..

If he ALWAYS gets home 15 minutes after dinner is ready - delay dinner by twenty minutes! either that or he dings it or it goes in the dog!

Hi,

treat yourself to a pie or tart in a foil dish, retain the dish and use repeatedly, or buy something like this,

What problem though?

And what have children got to do with it?

That children might need to eat before a bedtime, and preferably with one if not both parents, so cooking the meal, sitting with them and leaving a plate aside for the later parent might be preferable.

Glad I am not the only one, funkymonkey849! If he is very late basically the stuff stays in the pans and it is up to him to re-warm it. Having said that, we always tend to wait for him if we can.

If I cover something with foil I tend to reuse the foil, too, after washing and air-drying it.
