Question
On Friday evening, when placing a pot of soup on the hotplate or a kettle with tea essence before sunset, do they need to already be at a temperature that the hand recoils from before sunset?
Answer
Hello,
According to the law, since a hotplate is considered as if it is covered and reduced, it is permissible to leave uncooked food on it.
