# Many authorities permit placing food on an electric hotplate which does not have an adjustable temperature setting, even without fulfilling the conditions of [[Hachzara]], since it is not a usual way of [[cooking]]. However, others say that it is considered like a covered fire, upon which one may not return food without fulfilling the conditions of [[Hachzara]]. <Ref> | # Many authorities permit placing food on an electric hotplate which does not have an adjustable temperature setting, even without fulfilling the conditions of [[Hachzara]], since it is not a usual way of [[cooking]].

* Rav Mordechai Willig (Am Mordecahi p. 48) writes that one may heat up cold fully cooked solid food on an electric hotplate which is not used for [[cooking]] and has only one temperature setting. Halachos of [[Shabbos]] (p. 313), [[Shabbos]] Kitchen (p. 43), and Chazon Ovadyah (p. 78) agree. See Sh”t Igrot Moshe 4:74:35 who rules that if it is impossible cook on a particular electric hotplate, one may heat up already warm food on it if it has only one setting. Shemirat [[Shabbat]] KeHilchata 1:30, however, rules that an electric hot plate is a like a covered fire and one may not return food onto it without fulfilling the other conditions of [[Hachzara]]. (Rabbi Neuwirth emphasizes this in his approbation of Am Mordechai (p. 7).) Rabbi Belsky (quoted by Halachically Speaking 4:16:3) and Orchot [[Shabbat]] (p. 99) agree. | * Rav Mordechai Willig (Am Mordecahi p. 48) writes that one may heat up cold fully cooked solid food on an electric hotplate which is not used for [[cooking]] and has only one temperature setting.

* Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]] 1 pg 55) holds that since [[Hachzara]] is only forbidden as it looks like [[cooking]] a plaata (electric hotplate) which isn’t used for [[cooking]] should be permitted for [[Hachzara]]. Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank (Kol Torah Iyar 5723, Sh”t Har Tzvi O”C 136 and Toldot Zev ([[Shabbat]] 2 pg 234)) concurs. Halacha Brurah 318:95 summarizes that it is permitted to take cold dry food out of a refrigerator that was there since Friday and place it on the hotplate on Shabbat. That is for dry foods no conditions of hachzara are necessary. Yalkut Yosef 253:9 agrees. Sh”t Igrot Moshe (O”C 4:74(35), 1:93) permits [[Hachzara]] on a blech if the food is fully cooked because it’s not used to cook and being a blech for [[Shabbat]] it serves as a reminder it’s [[Shabbat]]. Sh”t Yashkil LeAvdi O”C 7:28, Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach (Shulchan Shlomo 253:27), Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 8:26, Chukei Chaim Peretz 8 in name of Rav Sheinberg, Sh”t Me’oneh Lashon 22, Sh”t Tefilah LeMoshe 1:32, and Yitzchak Yiranen (pg 50) concur to permit [[Hachzara]] on a plaata. However, Yashiv Moshe (Rabbi Twersky pg 36) in name of Rav Elyashiv and Sh”t Avnei Yishfeh 1:83 are strict because a plaata is sometimes used to cook. See also Sh”t Shemesh UMagen 1:53 and 3:54(3). | * Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]] 1 pg 55) holds that since [[Hachzara]] is only forbidden as it looks like [[cooking]] a plaata (electric hotplate) which isn’t used for [[cooking]] should be permitted for [[Hachzara]].
