This is codified as halacha in Shulchan Aruch 254:4 in regards to the halacha of stirring food on the fire.

#It is forbidden to cover a pot, even if it is on the blech, as long as the food isn’t fully cooked because covering it hastens the [[cooking]] process.

Menuchat Ahava 2:1:13 p. 54 writes that covering an uncooked pot is only rabbinic cooking since it is grama. His proof is Sanhedrin 76b and Shulchan Aruch 257:5. However, he admits that he is in disagreement with the Meiri Shabbat 73b and Bartenura 7:2, though he rules against them. The Or Letzion 2:30:14 in the footnote seems to agree with the Menuchat Ahava. However, Yalkut Yosef disagrees strongly disagrees because by definition covering a pot is part of the process of cooking and cooking is defined as something that otherwise would be grama.</ref> | ||
