As a side question to this thread- when you prepare a casserole for
someone, do you deliver it unbaked? hot and ready? baked yet cooled for
reheating...? I never want to assume they're going to eat the dish that
very night unless I've confirmed it with them in advance. But I also
worry about how best to package and deliver the food for their
convenience yet want the dish to remain in best condition.

I have a new mommy to cook for and wonder how people best like to send
(or receive) these food offerings?
