# An important piece of food that can be used to honor | # An important piece of forbidden food, whether it is forbidden in benefit or not<ref>Even though the Rif (Avoda Zara 35b) seems to hold that only items that are forbidden in benefit have this particular halacha that an important piece can't be nullified, the majority of the poskim have disagreed with the Rif as the Bet Yosef 101:1 writes. The Tosfot (Avoda Zara 74a s.v. lemeutei) and Rambam (Maachalot Asurot 16:5) disagree with the Rif</ref>, that can be used to honor an important guest<ref>Kaf HaChaim 101:1 and Aruch Hashulchan 101:1 write that the food needs to be important enough that it would be used to honor an important guest.</ref> isn't nullified even one in a thousand.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 101:1</ref> | ||
# If there is a halachic doubt if an item is an important piece it can be nullified, however, if there is a doubt if an item is forbidden but certainly is considered an important piece the item isn't nullified.<ref>Isur Veheter HaAruch 25:7, Taz 100:1</ref> | # If there is a halachic doubt if an item is an important piece it can be nullified, however, if there is a doubt if an item is forbidden but certainly is considered an important piece the item isn't nullified.<ref>Isur Veheter HaAruch 25:7, Rama 101:1, Taz 100:1</ref> | ||
# If a piece of food that's important falls into a mixture and is removed, the taste it imparted into the mixture is nullified in 60.<Ref>Kaf HaChaim 101:3</ref> | |||
# If a food isn't currently ready to be served to guests but potentially could be made into a piece that is significant for guests, according to some rishonim<ref>Rosh (Chullin 7:36)</ref> that is considered significant and isn't nullified, while according to others it is nullified if it isn't currently ready to be served.<ref>Rashba (Torat Habayit 13b)</ref> Ashkenazim hold that if it is almost ready to be served it is already important and can't be nullified, however, if there is a major activity to still do, such as removing the feathers from a chicken, it can be nullified. Sephardim hold that if the piece is too big or too small or is unfeathered it can be nullified, however, if it is just raw, where there's no minhag one should be strict and assume that it can't be nullified.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 101:3 holds as long as the piece isn't the right size, unfeathered, and cooked it can be nullified. Rama YD 101:3, however, that as long the chicken was feathered it can't be nullified. Kaf HaChaim 101:27 advises being strict about an uncooked piece but notes that the minhag of Yerushalayim was to be lenient and they have what to rely upon.</ref> | |||
# It is only considered an important piece that can't be nullified if it is forbidden in it of itself such as nevelah or a combination of meat and milk but not if it just absorbed the taste of a forbidden food.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 101:2</ref> | |||
# If an important piece is cut or crushed up so that it lost its original form it no longer retains its significant status and can be nullified. That is only if it was cut or crushed unintentionally.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 101:6</ref> | |||
# If an important piece fell into a mixture and one piece was cut, that piece is permitted but the rest of the mixture is forbidden. <ref>Rosh (Chullin 7:35), Shulchan Aruch 101:7</ref> | |||
