In an upscale French restaurant this dish would be called cassoulet which essentially is a bean stew. (Everything sounds better in French.) Cholent is an easy and hearty dish to prepare.

There is a mix called a cholent bean mix – its basically a mix of pinto, kidney & baby lima beans
What are ‘cholent beans’ here? (My grandmother made this once in my memory – i think she used navy beans; neighbor uses garbanzos, but what does recipe anticipate, please?)
Correct, most people prepare the cholent and then leave it till shabbat (other than switching the temp before if needed)
Typically chollent is put on over night on low. High temperature cooks too quickly.
Can you please tell me on what setting should the 15 hours
Be for the cholent
We did it on high till shabbat and then switched it to low (some slow cookers have different settings so you may want to check the instructions)
Hello. It says that prep and ready time is 10 minutes. It doesn’t factor in the hours of cooking.
