Question
Fish in sauce heated on the fire on Shabbat, the fish was fully cooked on Friday, but the pot with the fish and sauce was placed on the hotplate during Shabbat. 1. Is it permissible to eat the fish itself without the sauce? 2. Should it be removed from the hotplate immediately upon noticing? 3. If it involves patties with sauce, is it different?
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to place food on the hotplate on Shabbat, whether it is a dry dish or a dish with sauce.
Therefore, if it was placed there in violation, it must be removed immediately upon noticing.
Food that was heated in violation is forbidden to eat on Shabbat.
