Gonna add a question to this post.
-Flying with food-
Im going to my in-laws out of state for the holiday, what is the best way to transport some gumbo I want to make beforehand?
secure it in an ice chest and check it? Ive never flown or shipped for, tbh. IT's a short trip, about 1:30hr

Call the airline and see what they recommend. I've sent food by air before, but that was a couple decades ago and I have to assume some things have changed.

Freeze it.
Either overnight it or check it in a Yeti-style cooler.

lester,
Nearly every year when we take a ski vacation i make a gumbo before we leave, cool it, double zip lock bag it, freeze it and and when i get the airport i take it out of an ice chest and throw it in my checked bag. never had an issue. It's usually a direct flight from NOLA to Denver which is about a 2 hr 20 minute flight. Add 2 hours at the airport before the flight and that is 4 hrs 20 minutes from my car/ice chest until arrival in Denver. It's mostly still frozen upon arrival. I just hate to have to come off the mountain after a long day of skiing to screw with putting together a gumbo....but i do love some gumbo in the mountains.
I also cooked the rice once and brought it along as well. However, the change in altitude busted the ziplock and i had rice in my suitcase. So now i just pack a microwave rice cooker.
