* Rabbi Gedalia Schwartz ([http://www.crcweb.org/Sappirim/Sappirim%206%20(Nov%202007).pdf Sappirim 5768], Issue 6) ruled that one may place food in a warming drawer if they are set to the low setting so that they aren’t used for [[cooking]] and the knobs are removed or covered. He notes that this only applies to solid completely cooked food. | * Rabbi Gedalia Schwartz ([http://www.crcweb.org/Sappirim/Sappirim%206%20(Nov%202007).pdf Sappirim 5768], Issue 6) ruled that one may place food in a warming drawer if they are set to the low setting so that they aren’t used for [[cooking]] and the knobs are removed or covered.

* Rabbi Belsky (on ouradio.org, [http://www.ouradio.org/ouradio/channel/C2055/ “Cooking on Shabbos- A HOT TOPIC”], min 6-8) says that essentially it may be permitted to use a warming drawer on [[Shabbat]] which looks different than other warming drawers and only reaches temperatures of 175 degrees, but doesn’t conclude that it is actually permissible, because it is too similar to other warming drawers. However, if the warmer drawer is adjustable or it could reach temperatures of 275 degrees it is certainly forbidden. | * Rabbi Belsky (on ouradio.org, [http://www.ouradio.org/ouradio/channel/C2055/ “Cooking on Shabbos- A HOT TOPIC”], min 6-8) says that essentially it may be permitted to use a warming drawer on [[Shabbat]] which looks different than other warming drawers and only reaches temperatures of 175 degrees, but doesn’t conclude that it is actually permissible, because it is too similar to other warming drawers.

* Rabbi Muschell ([http://www.star-k.org/kashrus/kk-cooking-ovenshabbos.htm star-k.org]) writes that if the warming drawer reaches above 120 degrees one may not place food in there on [[Shabbat]]. Rather he writes that one may leave food in there from before [[Shabbat]] on a few conditions. If the temperature is adjustable the knob must be covered. If opening the warming drawer is thermostatically controlled one may only open the drawer once on [[Shabbat]], removing everything at one time. Similarly, on another page, the [http://star-k.org/cons-appl-wolf-warmdrawer.htm Star-K] writes that all food should be placed in the drawer before [[Shabbat]] and may not be placed there on [[Shabbat]]. The drawer may be opened only once and so one should remove all food at one time. Additionally, the Star-K writes, that one should cover the knobs and the temperature certainly may not be adjusted on [[Shabbat]].</ref> | * Rabbi Muschell ([http://www.star-k.org/kashrus/kk-cooking-ovenshabbos.htm star-k.org]) writes that if the warming drawer reaches above 120 degrees one may not place food in there on [[Shabbat]].

However, the knobs must be covered so that it is extremely inconvenient to adjust the temperature. Rav Hershel Schachter (ibid. p. 181) argues that covering the knob is insufficient unless there is no knob to adjust the temperature.</ref> | ||
