# It's permissible to remove a the refuse together with a piece of a good food. <ref>* Taz 319:13 writes that when removing a fly from a drink it’s permissible if one takes the fly with some liquid with it. Most achronim hold like the Taz including Mishna Brurah 319:61, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 3:18, and The 39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 3 pg 419) hold like the Taz. | |||
* Chazon Ish explained that the Taz means that since the fly was contained in a separate mixture of liquid removing that mixture entirely and not separating within the mixture is permissible. According to this, a significant amount of liquid must be removed with the fly so that it can form it’s own mixture. | |||
* However, Shabbat kitchen (pg 104-5 in the note) writes that the Mishna Brurah disagrees with the Chazon ish and concludes that a particle of liquid suffices and that the taz’s leniency would apply to dry foods. The Shabbat kitchen explains that the reason of the Taz’s leniency is because of it’s not similar to the way borer is normally done. | |||
* Iglai Tal #6 writes that the taz’s leniency only allows you to do it right before the eating. Shabbat Kitchen argues that it should be permitted even for storing away. So holds Menuchat Ahava 7:11. See Sh”t Tefillah lemoshe 1:49(9) who argues on the Chazon Ish.</ref> | |||
# If one has food in one’s mouth one may remove what you want from what you don’t want. <Ref> Igrot Moshe O”C 4:74 Borer 7, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 3:11, and Shabbat Kitchen (pg 103) </ref> | # If one has food in one’s mouth one may remove what you want from what you don’t want. <Ref> Igrot Moshe O”C 4:74 Borer 7, Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 3:11, and Shabbat Kitchen (pg 103) </ref> | ||
# If a food has a peel that covers it entirely one may remove the part that’s unwanted (peel) from the part that’s desired (fruit), however this action must be done right before the meal and with one's hand. <Ref> S”A 321:19, Biur Halacha 321:19 D”H LeKlof, Menuchat Ahava (vol 2 7:11), and Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 3:29 </ref> | # If a food has a peel that covers it entirely one may remove the part that’s unwanted (peel) from the part that’s desired (fruit), however this action must be done right before the meal and with one's hand. <Ref> S”A 321:19, Biur Halacha 321:19 D”H LeKlof, Menuchat Ahava (vol 2 7:11), and Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 3:29 </ref> | ||
# Where it’s impossible to separate the food from the waste it’s permissible to take out the waste. For example, one who cuts open a cantaloupe may scoop out the seeds and leave the fruit. <Ref>Shabbat Kitchen (pg 103) in name of Rav Sheinburg </ref> | # Where it’s impossible to separate the food from the waste it’s permissible to take out the waste.
