What about wrapping cold food in hot food on your plate?
September 25, 2016 11:21 am

I sometimes take for example, cold chicken and smother it on my plate at the meal, with hot cholent, for the purpose of both cooling the cholent down faster since I don’t like it so burning hot anyway, and also to warm up the chicken, so it too will taste better than if it stays cold.
I wonder if that is OK, Al Pi Halacha?

I wrap my kugel and kishka in parchment paper to avoid the affects of aluminium foil.
Does that make a difference since it doesn’t conduct heat, or make it hotter?
I agree with not using foil! Get rid of that and plastic as well.

Oh, the agony!!!!

That aluminum foil leeching into the cholent all night long gives me the chills!!!! Do your research, folks!!!

Aluminum foil

Although I respect everyone’s sincere effort to find out the bottom line on thi, I wanted to put something out there. Much research has been conducted about the effects of aluminum. Much of that research shows that there are harmful effects from using it, especially when heated. This goes for aluminum pots/pans as well as the foil. There is good reason to believe that Alzheimer’s disease can come about due to the effects of this metal in the brains. Excessive amounts have been found in those brains. (Unheated aluminum, as in canned foods is also not recommended?) So I think… Read more »

When in doubt
September 23, 2016 6:19 pm

When in doubt –
1. Ask your local orthodox rabbi.
2. A doubt in an issur d’orayta (shabbos) – you must be stringent, so assume it is prohibited until you discover that it is allowed.
3. If you did chillul shabbos unintentionally (b’shogeg), then you must bring a korbon chatos in bais hamikdosh.

Dear Urgent,

You’d better ask your local Rov. Collive isn’t manned by a team of expert rabbonim.

The Cholent Pot and the Water Urn on Shabbos: Got Them Covered? The melachah (the prohibition) of bishul (cooking) on Shabbos includes any act that aids the cooking process. Therefore, a pot sitting on the blech (metal sheet used on Shabbos to cover the flame or other heat source) containing food that is not fully cooked may not be covered or re-covered on Shabbos. (See Halachah #334 for how raw or partially cooked food may be set up for Shabbos with a blech or an alternative.) Even if the food in the pot is fully cooked, it may still be… Read more »

it seems to me

soup ok
urn must be a litle uncovered
thermos ok cuz off fire unlike your urn which plugged in is considered all ha’aish
chalas ok cuz they are baked not cooked and dry.

URGENT!!! Please clarify rules of hatmana!
September 23, 2016 3:26 pm

Please clarify rules of hatmana! After reading this I am totally confused. I heat up soup before shabbos and when boiling, I remove from fire and wrap it up before shabbos in an insulated cover to keep it hot till the meal – is that allowed? I also have an insulated cover over my hot water urn (which is left plugged in on shabbos) to keep water extra hot – is that allowed? I also sometimes place certain hot food in a thermos before shabbos to keep it hot (I heard Rebbe did it for hot water and for me,… Read more »

September 23, 2016 1:48 pm

is there a problem if the wrapped food is cooked already since the hatama wont accomplish anything except kkep ot warm before shabbos?
