## According to Ashkenazim, one could bring the cholent pot under the spigot of the urn or bring the urn to the cholent pot and pour hot water directly into the cholent. One should be careful to pour in the water slowly so that it doesn't stir its contents. Also, for reasons of kashrut one should make sure that the steam isn't so close to the spigot of the urn.<ref>Orchot Shabbat 1:2:73:1-2, 39 Melachos v. 2 p. 649</ref> If one is taking the cholent pot to the urn one should make sure that the cholent pot can be returned to a covered fire, such as a blech or a crock pot that is lined with tin foil and the insert is raised up with tin foil or marbles.<ref>Rabbi Willig in The Laws of Cooking and Warming Food on Shabbat pp. 124-6</ref> | ## According to Ashkenazim, one could bring the cholent pot under the spigot of the urn or bring the urn to the cholent pot and pour hot water directly into the cholent.

## According to Ashkenazim, if necessary, it is permitted to take a cup, fill it from the hot water urn and immediately pour it into the cholent put. It isn't considered cooking since the water was already boiling and it isn't an issue of [[hachzara]] since it was in one's hand with the intention to be put into another food on the fire. One should be careful to pour in the water slowly that it doesn't stir its contents.<ref>Orchot Shabbat 1:2:73:3, 39 Melachos v. 2 p. 649. 39 Melachos makes it clear that this option is less preferred than bringing the cholent pot directly under the urn. Rav Hershel Schachter (The Laws of Cooking and Warming Food on Shabbat p. 184) forbids this option altogether and only allows bringing the urn to the cholent pot.</ref> | ## According to Ashkenazim, if necessary, it is permitted to take a cup, fill it from the hot water urn and immediately pour it into the cholent put.
