Dan’s note: Earlier this month I spent last week island hopping in Hawaii, chasing volcanoes and waterfalls. We brought food in a Polar Bear cooler which kept everything frozen. While I used to travel there with a toaster oven, this time I relied on several HotLogic ovens, which are amazing because they take up very little space.

I used it in-flight to have a delicious warm meal, and even to warm up some of the frozen parts of the airline supplied kosher meal, and let me tell you, a hot roll and dessert is a whole lot better than a frozen one!

A standard takeaway food tray, like if you buy a travel meal from a place like Pomegranate or take out food from a restaurant, will fit in the Mini oven. The HotLogic Max oven will fit 2 meals or a 9×13 pan!

We also used this power inverter to have hot food while driving around for the day and island hopping.

Between the Polar Bear and HotLogic, kosher travelers can truly travel anywhere in the world and have delicious hot food on demand without being limited to destinations that have kosher restaurants.

The HotLogic oven on the other hand folds down next to nothing, making it an ideal travel mate. However while a toaster oven will warm up cold food in 20 minutes or frozen food in an hour, the HotLogic will take an hour to warm up cold food or a couple hours to warm up frozen food. That means you’ll have to plan your meals ahead of time and defrost meals in advance.

Want to speed up the process? If you buy 2 HotLogics you can take the warming trays and combine them into one bag to have the food warmed from both the bottom and the top to accelerate the warming process.

You can also put plastic or foil in the HotLogic without issue and you can put in food in the morning and leave it in there until evening and it will be fine. That’s because the HotLogic only gets up to 165 degrees, so it won’t melt plastic or overcook your food, but it will get your food hot with enough time.

As you only need 45 watts to power the mini or 100 watts to power the Casserole oven, you can use a basic converter to use them overseas, though some DDF members report using it overseas without a converter as well. I haven’t yet tried mine overseas.

On the downside, you won’t be making crunchy nachos in a HotLogic like you can in a toaster oven. And you’ll need multiple HotLogic ovens to heat up meals for a whole family.

Using a HotLogic on a plane is not something that airlines are likely to encourage (though I have seen flight attendants using them as well for their own meals), but it was easier than gambling on whether I’d be able to persuade the flight attendant to warm up my own meal in the plane’s oven. It’s a real game changer!

Note that airplane outlets only supply 60-75 watts of power, so that may only work with the Mini, though I didn’t try it with the Max.

what bags do you use for meat & milk?

HotLogic Mini

SK

Did anyone ever use it for shabbos? For when you have only one dish that you need heated

Mihcael

Yes. I’ve used it for shabbos when staying in a hotel. Worked perfectly. There are no knobs (only one setting which is below cookig temperature) so it is OK according to many/most poskim.

Joseph

It looks like hatmana to me, so check with LOR.

Shlomo

I was wondering about that myself. Did you hear anything regarding this?

Duchifas

It may not be enclosed in something that adds heat. You would be correct if one side was open, but here it’s completely inside of the oven and therefore adding heat, so not touching alone may not be enough. (You could have just written AYLOR, but chose to first state an opinion, which is why i’m commenting )

Louise

Seems to me that it’s really a miniature platta. I can put Friday dinner in and zip it closed before Shabbat, open it and take dinner out when it’s time to eat but then leave it open and in the morning put lunch in and make sure to leave the bag open.

Littlebit Jewish

Louise, Are you a orthodox Rabbi? As you seem to know you’re stuff.

Louise

????
What’s to know? It’s a platta (Shabbat hotplate) inside of a lunchbox. If putting something inside of the lunchbox on Shabbat bothers you because it seems like an oven, just take the platta out and put it on a non-flammable surface.

Ab

This is incorrect, there is no hatmana without materal touching the walls of the kadeira. Per Shulchan Aruch Harav (OC 257:10):

וְאִם הוּא בְּעִנְיָן שֶׁאֵין הַבְּגָדִים נוֹגְעִים בַּקְּדֵרָה, כְּגוֹן שֶׁנָּתַן עַל הַקְּדֵרָה כְּלִי רָחָב שֶׁאֵינוֹ נוֹגֵעַ בְּצִדֵּי הַקְּדֵרָה53 וְנָתַן הַבְּגָדִים עַל הַכְּלִי, שֶׁנִּמְצָא שֶׁאֵין כַּאן הַטְמָנָה כְּלָלצח אֲפִלּוּ בְּדָבָר שֶׁאֵינוֹ מוֹסִיף הֶבֶלצט,54 – הֲרֵי זֶה מֻתָּר, שֶׁאַף שֶׁהַגֶּחָלִים מַעֲלִין הֶבֶל לְמַעְלָה – אֵין בְּכָךְ כְּלוּם, כֵּיוָן שֶׁאֵין הַקְּדֵרָה טְמוּנָה בְּשׁוּם דָּבָר

Littlebit Jewish

hatmana (Hot- Mana) is allowed Friday for Saturday use. According to “Littlebit Jewish”.

RH

you can keep the zipper opened a bit so it is not fully enclosed

Jack

People use in the hospitals for Shabbos. Only thing this you can’t close it completely due to Hatmanah

Eitan

While traveling with my entire family, I used the HotLogic Max for meat and a Betty Crocker for dairy. The HotLogic was awesome for heating up full meals with enough space for a large aluminum pan. I loved that I could put the food in hours before we were going to eat and it was perfectly hot whenever we wanted it. Also extremely portable. Highly recommended!

Mendy

Can’t check out

Mendy

worked with Amazon checkout

George S

so why would this be better than a small collapsible hot plate/plata?

high

looks like site crashed

Just Ordered on HotLogic

It’s worth to mention that for some reason HotLogic doesn’t collect sales tax while on Amazon you would pay sales tax on your order.

ymg

It’s a great product!
Yes I used it for Shabbos.
Regarding HATMANA it’s not a problem if you don’t close it all the way, just leave a tiny bit open.

HJ

Will these work in Europe?

Yisroel

I have used the Betty crocker pitsa makers for vacation all over I have 2 1 milchigis and 1 flieshges the food taste good and fresh not rubber like a microwave bought frozen meals in evergreen put it up in 15 minutes hot good food

jb

alright, i bought one!. thanks for the advice recommendation

MK

Are these any better then the other brands they sell @ Amazon

YL

What are the advantages of this vs a travel plata? Particularly if I’m mostly gonna be using it in hotels while traveling

BigIssy

Is there any difference in cooking space between the max double and the max double xp? or is the xp just more storage space?

Yosef

XP versions – can you heat in the expandable section?

Calev

Do these go on sale often? Really wanted one but the code doesn’t work anymore 🙁 (I see it ended 11/30)

Y

Cheaper than last deal?

YoungMama

I was introduced to this product by DansDeals Black Friday deals and it has been a lifesaver for us being in the hospital with a sick child for the past 4 weeks. There is no Bikur Cholim room on the patient’s floor and this enables us to have warm food! Thank you so much!

John

Does this get as warm as a shabbos hot plate?

Moshe

I need one that will fit a whole pizza pie

Ben

Dan, do they let you carry the polar bear cooler you bought onto the plane or do you have to check it?

cyginsberg

Hey Dan,

Do you know if this would be usable in a campervan in Iceland using an invertor? The campervan website clearly says that an invertor should only be used for battery powered appliances but not for something like a blow dryer.

(I find this interesting as most of the cheap step down convertors (220V to 110V) ONLY work for plug in appliances like blow dryers, toasters etc (i.e. electric appliance) and not things that use batteries or computer chips to power them (i.e electronic appliances))

IB

I know this is an old post, but want to bring pomegranate travel meals into Iceland this summer. Did you encounter any issues with customs (whether checked or carryon?)

Moshe P

Can the same hotlogic be used for a dairy lunch and then a meat dinner?

Aron

To satisfy all scenarios and opinions in the poskim, you can completely double-wrap either the meat or the dairy in aluminum foil or Saran wrap. Or double-wrap both to keep the heater “gender-neutral”.

Work-for-ur-muny

Amazon Pay charged me sales tax, so I switched to PayPal and wasn’t charged.

AK

Traveling on MSC cruise shortly. Does anyone know if this is allowed on board as they don’t want to guarantee kosher food since we booked less than 3 weeks out.
