Gentile Thickening the Sauce
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Regarding the cooking of a gentile, according to the opinion of the Shulchan Aruch, and in a situation where a Jew lit the fire under the pot where the sauce is cooking, is it permissible for the gentile cook to add flour or cornstarch into the pot on the fire to thicken the sauce?
With blessings and thanks.
Answer
Hello,
There is no prohibition of Bishul Akum in this case.
