Permissible ways to heat up food on Shabbat: Difference between revisions

===Crock-pot===

# 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 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>

* 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.
