===Near a fire=== | |||
# It’s permissible to place completely cooked cold solid food or slightly warm liquid (according to Sephardim, boiling liquid) near a fire to remove the chill or warm it up. <Ref> S”A 318:15 writes that totally cooked cold solids and boiling liquids may be placed near the fire even in an area where it could reach Yad Soldet Bo. Rama 318:15 writes that the minhag is to be lenient regarding reheating liquids as long as it’s slightly warm. Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 1:13 and Shabbat Kitchen (pg 43) agree. </ref> | |||
# Cold liquids that are fully cooked may not be placed in an area where if the food was left there it would reach Yad Soldet Bo unless there’s a great need, such as heating milk for a baby, and one’s intent is only to warm it or remove the chill and one actually removes it before it reaches Yad Soldet Bo. <Ref> Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 1:13 </ref> | |||
# It’s forbidden to place a piece of bread close enough to the fire that it will toast. <Ref> Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 1:62 </ref> | |||
# It’s forbidden to dry wet clothes by placing them near a heater or radiator. <Ref> Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 15:9-11 </ref> | |||
# One may not put uncooked food in area (near the fire) where it could eventually reach 110 degrees even if one intends to remove it from that area before it becomes 110 degrees. However, if it wouldn't reach 110 degrees even if it was left there, then it's permissible. <Ref>39 Melachos (vol 2 pg 563), Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 1:13 </ref> | |||

# On [[Shabbat]] some poskim permit one to cover the fire with a metal tray if the flame isn’t strong enough to make the tray red-hot. <Ref> Sh”t Zera Emet 3:26 permits one to put a metal tray (with small holes) on a fire on [[Shabbat]] and then do Hachzara based on S”A 318:8 where he brings the dispute whether one can do Hachzara on an empty over the fire and rules like the lenient opinion. Chazon Ish 37:11 argues that actually placing the metal sheet on the fire is the forbidden act of [[Mavir]] based on Rambam ([[Shabbat]] 12:1, 9:6) who says that one who heats metal to mold it violates [[Mavir]]. Even though S”A 253:3 writes that on [[Shabbat]] day one can put a empty pot on a fire (and then return a pot that was on the fire right before), Chazon Ish explains that S”A is talking about a earthenware pot and not metal. However Nishmat Adam 20:1, Kesot HaShulchan (134 pg 42), Sh”t Shevet Halevi 1:91, Sh”t She’ilat Shaul 29, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]] 1 pg 55), and Sh”t Tefilah LeMoshe 1:59 (pg 647) argue that in our case the tray won’t become hot as a coal or hot enough to be reshaped and so it should be permitted. So rules Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 1:38 to permit covering the fire as long as the fire isn’t strong enough to make the tray red-hot. </ref> | # On [[Shabbat]] some poskim permit one to cover the fire with a metal tray if the flame isn’t strong enough to make the tray red-hot. <Ref> Sh”t Zera Emet 3:26 permits one to put a metal tray (with small holes) on a fire on [[Shabbat]] and then do Hachzara based on S”A 318:8 where he brings the dispute whether one can do Hachzara on an empty over the fire and rules like the lenient opinion.
