# There is a rabbinic prohibition not to return cooked food to a fire on [[Shabbat]] even if the food is fully cooked. 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 s.v. MeKlal) in name of some geonim, Ritva (40b s.v. VeAskina), and Ran (17b s.v. 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.
