In this episode, we delve into the intricate halachot of cooking and heating food on Shabbat. We start by discussing the permissibility of placing pre-cooked dry food on a hot plate or warming drawer, highlighting the differing opinions of Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.
The discussion extends to the concept of Nesina Lechatchila and the solutions for heating food on Shabbat, such as using an upside-down pan on a hot plate or warming drawer. We also explore the practice of asking a non-Jew to perform certain actions on Shabbat, particularly in scenarios where it may result in a psik reisha.
Further, we examine the laws surrounding the use of ovens and heaters, including the prohibition of placing food directly on a heater that will be lit later. We also clarify the distinctions between Chazara and Shehiyah, and the specific conditions under which they are permitted.
Finally, the episode touches upon the special cases of roasting and cooking in pots, providing clear guidelines for ensuring adherence to Shabbat laws while maintaining practical solutions for warming food.
