# 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>

* 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.

* 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 Frankel (Kol Torah (Iyar 5723, Sh”t Har Tzvi O”C 136, Toldot Zev ([[Shabbat]] 2 pg 234)) concurs. 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 Shemesh UMagen (3:54(3) in retraction of his stringent opinion in 1:53), 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 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>
