Question
A cholent pot that was cooked several hours before Shabbat, is it permissible to open it on Friday night?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If the pot is fully cooked, it is permissible to close the pot on Shabbat.
Opening the pot is certainly permissible; the discussion is only about closing the pot after opening.
