These dishes are prepared on Erev Pesach and symbolize the beginning of the preparation for Shabbat before Yom Tov. In this way, the preparation on Yom Tov is not a new preparation, but just the conclusion of a process that began before Yom Tov, rendering it permissible. The items are held in the right hand and a blessing and formula are recited over them, found in the Artscroll Siddur on page 654. Recite the blessing, “Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav vetzivanu al mitzvat eruv.” Then say the following: "By virtue of this eruv, we—the members of this household—shall be permitted to cook, bake, keep foods warm, carry, light candles, and do all preparations on Yom Tov (i.e. Thursday night and Friday day) for Shabbat." The items should be eaten on Shabbat and may not be eaten before that as long as preparations are being made for Shabbat. If one forgets to make an eruv tavshilin, one may rely on the eruv tavshilin that I will make in my own home on behalf of the community, but this should not be relied on initially—everyone should make his or her own. .
