Question
Is there a halachically permissible way to heat mushroom sauce on Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
It is forbidden to heat a sauce to a temperature at which the hand recoils — approximately 45 degrees Celsius, and it is forbidden to place it to warm even slightly in a place where it can reach that temperature. It is also forbidden to place food to warm in a place where cooking is usually done.
Therefore, the only solution is to place the sauce in a location where it cannot reach this temperature, and in a place where cooking is not usually done, such as on the countertop at a distance from the fire, or on top of another pot, in a place where it cannot warm to the mentioned temperature.
