* Rabbeinu Tam Sefer Hayashar 235 adds that Chazal prohibited it lest a person stoke the coals on [[Shabbat]].

* The Gemara and Rishonim discuss under what conditions may one return food to the fire. Based on the Rama 253:2, Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 1:18 rules that one may return food to a fire on [[Shabbat]] only under the following conditions: 1) the food is fully cooked, 2) it’s still somewhat hot (see the footnotes to [[#The opinion of the Ran]] about which foods need to be somewhat hot), 3) it was removed with intent be to returned, 4) one kept his hand on it, and 5) the fire is covered. For the slightly variant conditions according to Sephardim, see Yalkut Yosef 253:9.</ref> | * The Gemara and Rishonim discuss under what conditions may one return food to the fire.

# One may not return food to the oven on [[Shabbat]] even if the food is fully cooked and is very hot since an oven is considered an uncovered flame, [[Hachzara]] is forbidden. <Ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 1:17 </ref> | ====Ovens with Shabbos Mode==== | ||
## If there’s a metal insert in the oven to cover over the fires, some consider the oven to be considered a covered fire. <Ref> Sh”t Igrot Moshe 4:74:27 permits returning food to an oven on [[Shabbat]] if the oven has a metal insert of 4 sides to serve as a reminder. However, Sh”t Shevet HaLevi 3:48 argues on Igrot Moshe and holds that under all circumstances it’s forbidden to return food to the inside of an oven. </ref> | # One may not return food to the oven on [[Shabbat]] even if the food is fully cooked and is very hot since an oven is considered an uncovered flame, [[Hachzara]] is forbidden. <Ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 1:17, Orchot Shabbat 2:53, (Igrot Moshe OC 1:94) </ref> | ||
# Some Sephardic poskim are lenient to return food into an oven if the liquid food that one is returning to is still Yad Soledet Bo and wasn't placed on the ground.<ref>Yalkut Yosef 257:8. Yalkut Yosef explains that since the fire of the oven is covered it is considered like a stove with a covered fire. Additionally, returning into an oven is no different than on top of a stove according to the Shibolei Haleket that it is only forbidden to return into ovens of the days of Chazal which can cook on the inside and on top. | |||
Therefore, he is not lenient to return into an oven without any conditions but if the conditions of hachzara are met, namely that the liquids are Yad Soledet Bo and not placed on the floor, they can be returned into an oven. He concludes that his father Rav Ovadia agreed with him.</ref> | |||
# Some Sephardic permit returning dry cold food into an oven on "Shabbos mode" on Shabbat which keeps the temperature of the oven consistent.<ref>Tefilat LMoshe 1:2:4</ref> Some say that it is permitted if one places the food on top of an empty pan or try and then puts the food in the oven. <ref>Halacha Brurah 318:106, Or Letzion 2:17:4. (Yalkut Yosef 257:8 who is discussing liquids isn't completely clear if he would permit for dry foods though he implies that he would.)</ref> | |||
