Question
Is it permissible to eat food that requires pouring boiling water to prepare it for consumption, and a non-Jew poured the water?
Answer
Pouring does not constitute Bishul Akum (cooking by a non-Jew) because it is not considered cooking but merely scalding, and scalding is not served on a king's table.
