#As with any Beracha, if others intend to be Yotzei, they must intend to be Yotzei and respond [[Amen]] <ref> | #As with any Beracha, if others intend to be Yotzei, they must intend to be Yotzei and respond [[Amen]] <ref> Shulchan Aruch O"C 167:2 </ref>. Even the person [[making the Beracha]] should concentrate on the listeners' [[Amen]] (Rama 167:2) <ref> M.B: because responding [[Amen]] is part of the Beracha, and the Beracha is honored/made more important by having others respond [[Amen]], so it is proper for the Mevareich (person [[making the Beracha]]) to intend for the [[Amen]]. However, as the Be'ur Halacha shows, this requirement is extremely questionable. However, he does quote the Lechem Chamudos and Shiyarei Kenesses Hagedolah, who provide a practical reason for this: because it is forbidden for one to break the bread until everyone finishes saying [[Amen]]. By concentrating, then, the Mevareich will know when to break the bread </ref>. | ||

# If bread is baked in an oven or microwave the bracha is [[HaMotzei]], however, if it's cooked in the sun the bracha is [[Mezonot]], however others say that one should eat the bread cooked in a microwave in a meal and exempt it with another [[HaMotzei]]. <ref> | # If bread is baked in an oven or microwave the bracha is [[HaMotzei]], however, if it's cooked in the sun the bracha is [[Mezonot]], however others say that one should eat the bread cooked in a microwave in a meal and exempt it with another [[HaMotzei]]. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 168:16 writes that bread which was made for a Kutach dish and the bread was cooked in the sun has the bracha of [[Mezonot]]. Pitchei Teshuvot 168:22 explains that the bracha is [[mezonot]] because that's an unusual way of [[cooking]] it and the same is true of way bread cooked in the sun. Regarding bread cooked in a microwave the Pitchei Halacha (chapter 8 note 91) are in doubt as to whether the bracha should be [[mezonot]] or [[hamotzei]], while the Shevut Yitzchak (Dinei Microwave chapter 8) writes that he showed Rav Shlomo Zalman and Rav Elyashiv and they agreed that the bracha is [[HaMotzei]]. </ref> | ||
