# There was an old minhag to make sure to bake the matzah after [[chatzot]], midday, on Erev Pesach.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 458:1. Chok Natan 458:1 writes that the time for Pesach is according to the Bach only 6.5 hours into the day and according to the Magen Avraham after 6 hours into the day. The Magen Avraham cites Tosfot Pesachim 5a, Yoma 28a, and Niddah 63b as proofs. Chok Natan rejects these proofs and supports the Bach from the Roke'ach 280, Mordechai Pesachim n. 533, and Shibolei Haleket 213.</ref> | # There was an old minhag to make sure to bake the matzah after [[chatzot]], midday, on Erev Pesach.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 458:1.

# When baking matzah one should be careful not to leave it unattended for even a moment.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 459:2 writes that one shouldn't stop working the dough for even a moment, because doing so might make it chametz. Even though there is a concept that dough doesn't become chametz until the shiur of a mil, that is only if it wasn't worked yet. Once it was worked it is heated by one's hands and it can become chametz immediately. This is based on the responsa of the Rosh 14 and Tur. However, Rabbenu Yonah cited by Rosh Pesachim 3:6 implies otherwise; he writes that if one was working a dough that was too big to be able to work it properly it isn't chametz after the fact since it isn't worse than if it was left unattended, in which case we assume it doesn't become chametz for shiur of a mil. The Chidushei Maharmaz (Rav Moshe Zev Margoliyot, siman 459) notes this difficulty. If the Rabbenu Yonah held like the Rosh it is indeed worse after being worked since it was already heated up and we can't apply the shiur mil. He concluded that it is a dispute and after the fact we hold it is kosher if it wasn't a shiur mil even though it was worked. Pri Megadim M"Z 456:2 seems to raise this question as well.</ref> | |||
