# There is a rabbinic prohibition not to return cooked food to a fire on [[Shabbat]] even if the food is fully. Some say that the reason for the prohibition is that it looks like cooking and some that it is because one may come to stoke the coals. <Ref>

* The Mishnah (Shabbat 36b) records Beit Hillel’s opinion that one may not return a pot to a Kirah (type of stove meant to hold two pots) on Shabbat if the Kirah is heated with pressed sesame or wood unless the coals were covered with ashes or removed.

* Rashi Shabbat 36b "lo machzirim" says its "mechzay kimivashel", meaning, that the reason Chazal prohibited placing fully cooked food on the fire on Shabbat is that it looks like one is cooking on Shabbat. Baal HaMoar 16b, Rashba (38b D”H MeKlal) in name of some geonim, Ritva (40b D”H VeAskina), and Ran (17b D”H Bei Rav Ashi) write that the prohibition of Hachzara is a gezerah of Chazal because it looks like cooking when one heats up cold food on [[Shabbat]]. Mishna Brurah 253:55 quotes this Ran.
