Question
I have a Ninja device, and I want to cook with it on Yom Tov by having a non-Jew operate the device and set the appropriate program. He will also open and close the device's door as needed, and I will only place the food inside. Is this permissible from the perspective of Yom Tov and cooking by a non-Jew?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is forbidden to ask a non-Jew to perform prohibited labors for you on a holiday, just as on Shabbat.
Therefore, he is not allowed to turn the device on and off for you.
On weekdays, this does not constitute cooking by a non-Jew, since you are the one placing the food inside.
