Question

Hello, Is it permissible to place sauce in a closed bag inside the pot of cholent from Friday evening and pour it over the liver on Shabbat morning? [In terms of cooking, as well as in terms of insulation within the cholent, since it is customary to make holes in the kishke bag and the like so that it is not considered insulation]. Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello

In terms of insulation, there is no problem with the bag being inside the pot of cholent.

However, in terms of cooking, we are concerned that there is a prohibition against cooking food that has been roasted, and therefore it is forbidden to pour the sauce over the liver. However, it is permissible to place the liver in the sauce in a third vessel.
