Question
A Gentile turned on a hotplate for the needs of both adults and children. May the adults make use of it?
Answer
Even though there are also minors, an adult is forbidden to make use of it if the Gentile lit it also for him, unless he lit it solely for the minors who truly need to use the hotplate.
