One is that it is forbidden to leave raw food over an open fire before Shabbat so that it should continue cooking as Shabbat commences. Although there is no biblical prohibition of cooking because the act of placing the food over the fire was done before Shabbat; nevertheless, we are concerned that once one is involved with ensuring that their food is cooked, they may help the process along by stoking the flames. This prohibition is called [[Shehiya]].<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 253:1</ref> The second is [[Hachzara]]; that is, on Shabbat one shouldn't return food to the fire that was removed from the fire on Shabbat since it appears like one is cooking and not just reheating. The third one is that it is forbidden to insulate food both before Shabbat so that it remains insulated on Shabbat and on Shabbat itself. This prohibition is called hatmana and is the subject of this article. | ||

# One is permitted to insulate food before [[Shabbat]], with material that preserves heat. This is permitted even during [[Ben HaShemashot|twilight period]]. However, before [[Shabbat]] one is not permitted to insulate food with material that increases the heat lest one insulate with hot ashes containing coals and lest the food be incompletely cooked and one come to rake the coals on the [[Shabbat]].<Ref>See Talmud [[Shabbat]] 34b, Rashi at loc, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 257:1</ref> | # One is permitted to insulate food before [[Shabbat]], with material that preserves heat.
