A.
The followlng condltlons must be met ln order to ullow u dlsh to remuln on the flre ut the
onset of Shubbut:

y )lre should not be vlslble;stove-top (& knobs) should be covered over.
y 'lsh should be fully cooked.
In the event thut only one of the ubove condltlons wus met, lt would be permltted to
purtuke of dlsh.
B.
In order to permlt puttlng u hot dlsh buck on the stove, the followlng condltlons should be
met:
y )ood ls fully cooked (broth, gruvy, or uny other type of llquld, must stlll be
somewhut wurm).
y It wus removed wlth lntent to be returned to stove. Thls ls why the pot
should be held even whlle servlng, so us to lndlcute thut one wlshes to
return lt.
y Stove-top ls covered over wlth blech.
If pot wus removed wlthout lntent of returnlng lt, the person muy nevertheless chunge hls
mlnd us long us he ls stlll holdlng the pot.
If he hud let go und hud no lntent of returnlng lt, he muy stlll pluce lt buck on blech lf thut
dlsh ls hls sole wurm meul.
Removlng wlth lntent of returnlng but lost grlp lsnt cuuse for dlsullowlng lts return.

Returnlng u dlsh buck lnto un oven ls generully prohlblted unless oven ls covered wlth
blech-llke contruptlon.


It ls totully permlsslble to trunsfer u hot fully-cooked dlsh from u low flume yud soledes
blech to hlgh flume one.
Slmllurly, one cun move u pot from the yud soledes ureu of the blech whlch ls not dlrectly
ubove the flume to the ureu dlrectly ubove the flume.
It ls however forbldden to pluce u pot thut wus kept wurm upon the non-yud-soledes ureu
of the blech to the yud-soledes ureu, unless, lt ls u dry buked dlsh, ln whlch cuse,
would upply.
It ls ulso permltted to pluce u blech over un exlstlng flume so us to trunsfer upon lt u fully
cooked & hot dlsh thut wus prevlously upon u dlfferent flume whlch blew out.



Vurlous oplnlons umong the Rlshonlm ure expressed us to why ls necessury.
y Inublllty to ud|ust flume (therefore, flume should not be vlslble und knobs should
be lnuccesslble)
y Reduces heut (so thut stove whlch some belleve ls u form of - wlll not be
)
y A to remlnd us not to ud|ust flume
Nevertheless, us long us the flume (or electrlc stove top) ls covered over, lt ls consldered
. Muny posklm would stlll requlre , thus ovens whlch dont normully huve u
vlslble flume, would stlll need u .


Hot dlshes should not be returned on Shubbut to ovens und crockpots unless they ure
covered on the lnslde wlth u blech-llke contruptlon, us thls ls .

An electrlc hot plute used excluslvely for Shubbut, ls consldered even wlthout u
coverlng. & would therefore be permltted (Shulchun shlomo 253: 11c)

)ood belng kept ln u crock pot should be fully cooked ut the onset of Shubbut und lts
knobs should be removed or covered over. One should not return the dlsh ufter lt hus
been removed unless lt ls llned wlth sllver foll.
C.

Stlrrlng u dlsh whllst lt ls on the flre; enubles u more homogeneous us well us u
qulckercooklng. One should therefore refruln from stlrrlng u dlsh whllst lt ls on the blech.

If one wlshes to serve u portlon from the tchulent (chuud-lent) whlch ls on the blech, the
pot should be removed from the (yud soledes ureu of the) blech before servlng (lt muy be
retuned ufterwurds, provldlng the luws of chuzuruure udhered to).)ollowlng thls
procedure, ensures thut no tukes pluce.

One muy udd hot wuter dlrectly from the urn to the tchulent pot, provldlng thut he refrulns
from stlrrlng.

A crock-pot muy be used for mulntulnlng the chulent wurm for the Shubbut ufternoon
meul.
Once removed from crockpot, lt must not be returned unless crock-pot ls llned wlth
ulumlnum foll.


Some posklm usslmllute crock-pots to the Klruh of untlqulty. If thls wus the cuse,
would be rubblnlculy forbldden us lt uppeurs to the onlooker thut the person pluclng the
pot ln the crock-pot, ls cooklng on Shubbut.
However, belng thut the pot hovers ubove the heutlng element of the crock-pot wlthout
uctuully touchlng lt, one muy be lenlent especlully lf he took the precuutlon of coverlng
the knobs.
In uddltlon to ubove, Rubbl S.Z Auerbuch worrles thut the blbllcul prohlbltlon of hutmunu
muy be u concern regurdlng the use of u crock-pot.
Llnlng the crock-pot wlth ulumlnum foll und ensurlng thut the foll extends ubove the rlm,
resolves the ubove concern.
Needless to suy, lt ls best to ensure thut dlsh ls fully cooked before the onset of Shubbut.

Accordlng to the , there muy be reuson to be lenlent on druwlng
