Anyone think there would be a problem with reheating the Creamed Onion Gratin?

We cook most of our meal at home and then take everything and heat & finish things at my granddad's house. Oven space is always at a premium and I thought of doing it right before I went over there and then reheating briefly. I really wanted to make Ina's corn pudding but know there won't be room for water bath/pan and Richard said it deflates and isn't as good reheated.http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Creamed-Onion-Gratin

 
If you want a different corn dish here is Julia's fabulous Corn Timbale

I've made this many times- and it reheats beautifully. Fussy to make but very, very good. I usually unmold it and serve with roasted brussel sprouts around it.


TIMBALE OF FRESH CORN (Julia Child)
serves about 8

12 or more ears fresh corn (to make about 3 cups or 3/4 L cream-style grated corn)
6 eggs
2 to 3 tbsp grated onion
1 tsp salt
4 to 5 tbsp fresh minced parsley
2/3 cup lightly pressed down crumbs from crustless nonsweet white bread
2/3 cup lightly pressed down grated cheese (such as a mixture of Swiss and/ or Cheddar or mozzarella)
2/3 cup heavy cream
6 drops hot pepper sauce (or 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper)
8 to 10 grinds fresh pepper
Use a straight-sided 8 cup baking dish (I use a 3 qt straight-sided saucepan and cover the handle with foil for baking) and you will need a larger pan, such as a large cake pan, that you can set the timbale inside- the larger pan will have water in it during baking.
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl to blend; then add all the rest of the ingedients including the corn.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. About 2 hours before serving, butter the timbale pan and line the bottom with a round of buttered wax paper. Stir up the corn mixture to blend thoroughly and pour into the dish. Set corn dish in the larger dish and pour boiling water around it to come 2/3 up around the sides of the corn-filled dish. Bake in lower-middle of oven for 30 minutes, then turn oven down to 325 degrees. Baking time is around 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours. Timbale is done when it has risen almost to fill dish, the top has cracked open and a skewer plunged down through the center comes out clean. Let rest 10 minutes or more in turned-off oven, door ajar, before unmolding.

 
Oh Ina's corn pudding will deflate?! Good to know, I was going to make it for TG

Guess I will need to rethink this. I have to be there dish in hand at 2pm, but we don't eat till 5 or 6pm. Plus, whatever I make can't have any pepper due to MIL's allergy.
