Question

Hello Rabbi, Is it permissible to pour boiling water from a cup into a pot of chamin on the hotplate on Shabbat?

Answer

Hello Rabbi

According to the Shulchan Aruch, it is not permissible to pour hot water from a cup into a pot on the fire.

According to the Rema, hot water taken from a pot on the fire or an electric kettle may be placed in a pot on an electric hotplate.

If the pot of chamin is on a fire covered with a tin [=blech], our teacher the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita, holds that there is no permission to add water to it while it is on the fire.
