Question
Question: Is it permissible to place a hotplate before Shabbat connected to a timer that is set to turn off and on during Shabbat? Answer: If the food is placed before Shabbat, it is permitted. Source: Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 253. This was in the database. From your answer, it seems you understood that there is a prohibition of leaving, otherwise it is permitted even to place (interrupting the pot, etc.). Therefore, your answer is incorrect, as the prohibition of leaving is not a prohibition to place but a state of prohibition, as perhaps he will stir even if he did not place it himself. So wrote the Chazon Ish.
Answer
Greetings and Happy Hanukkah
In Chazon Ish, Siman 38, Sec. 2, it is explained that it is permitted only in this manner, see there in detail.
And the words of the Chazon Ish there are profound.
