Eruv Tavshilin is a halachic practice that allows food to be cooked on Yom Tov for use on the following Shabbat. This should be performed on Erev Shavuot, Thursday 5/21.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take a plate with one whole challah or matzah and either a piece of cooked fish, cooked meat, or a hard-boiled egg
2. Recite the Beracha and recital below (PDF here)
The Eruv foods may not be eaten before Shabbat. It is a good idea to wrap the matzah/challah and cooked item to separate them from other foods.
NOTE:
It is only permissible to cook from a pre-existent flame, i.e. one that was lit before Yom Tov.
