A Pot of Chicken Soup that Disappeared from Sight
Question
A pot containing chicken soup was on the stove while a non-Jewish cleaning lady was in the house. There was a stage in the middle of the day when we were coming and going out to the lobby of the building to watch the children (without cleaning lady’s knowing when we were supposed to reappear in the house). Does that make the chicken soup prohibited because of “meat that disappeared from sight”? Thank you.
Answer
Shalom!
The chicken soup is permitted.
