Question

Is it permissible to put saccharin tablets in a hot drink on Shabbat?

Answer

The material in saccharin tablets has not been cooked and appears to cook easily. Therefore, it should not be used on Shabbat in a drink that is at a temperature where the hand recoils.

However, there are tablets on the market that have been cooked, and they may be used in a kli sheni (secondary vessel). These tablets are clearly marked on the packaging as having been cooked.
