Chapter 5 · Cooking and food preparation

Dry and liquid - "no cooking after cooking"

Lesson 38 of 55 18 min

Food already cooked - may it be reheated? There is a big difference between dry food and liquid.

Lesson goals

01Know "no cooking after cooking for dry food"
02Understand the dispute on cooled liquids
03Know why reheating on a plate needs care

The rule

SA (OC 318:4) rules: a fully cooked dry item may be reheated even in a first vessel - no cooking. With a cooled liquid the SA is strict, and the Rema notes leniency when not fully cooled.

Kushya

Question: is reheating dry food on a plate "returning"? Answer: two separate questions: cooking (none for dry) and "appearing to cook" (depends on the method).

Practice

Sort the meal's foods: dry or liquid.
