Question
If I am cooking cholent with meat/soup with meat in a household quantity, how long does it need to cook before Shabbat to be allowed to transfer it to the hotplate?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is permissible to leave cholent on the hotplate if it is placed there from Friday evening, even if the cholent is not fully cooked, because it is not possible to increase the heat.
Transferring on Shabbat itself is only allowed when the dish is fully cooked and can be eaten without difficulty.
In cholent, care should be taken that all parts of the dish are properly cooked, as each ingredient has its own cooking pace.
