* See Halachos of [[Shabbat]] (p. 313) who rules that one may place food on a radiator. See also Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 1:30, who argues that a radiator is like a covered fire upon which one may not return food to it on [[Shabbat]] without fulfilling the other conditions of [[Hachzara]].</ref>

# In order to return food to a crockpot or the crockpot insert back into the electric setting the conditions of insulating (hatmana) and returning (hachzara) must be met (as described above). 1) If the insert pot is raised such as with marbles or the like then there's no issue of hatmana.<ref>Rabbi Willig in The Laws of Cooking and Warming Food on Shabbat p. 126 quoting Rav Elyashiv. See Orchot Shabbat p. 540</ref> 2) The food must be cooked. 3) The heating element must be covered such as by covering the surface with aluminum foil which then extends upwards and is seen before the adjustable setting.<ref>Rabbi Willig in The Laws of Cooking and Warming Food on Shabbat p. 124</ref> 4) At the time it was removed one's intent was to return it. 5) The pot remained in one's hands. 6) The food remains slightly warm. If it is a liquid, according to Sephardim it must be Yad Soledet Bo.
# Some say that one may leave fully cooked food in a crock-pot which is on a timer (set from before [[Shabbat]]) to turn on [[Shabbat]] morning and off [[Shabbat]] afternoon, however, some question this. <ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Hershel Schachter] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 13-16) says that even though the Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Kehilchata is lenient there is room to be strict because the Chazon Ish had a doubt about this. </ref>

# Some poskim permit placing fully cooked solid food in a warming drawer if one turns it on the low setting, which it can't be used for [[cooking]], and the knob to adjust the temperature is covered, while others forbid (see below for details).<ref>
