A Kli Sheni That Contains No Liquid

A Kli Sheni That Contains No Liquid
Day: Monday
Date: June 30, 2014
Parshat: Balak
Yalkut Yosef: 318


There are some poskim who hold that the halacha that a kli sheni doesn't cook only refers to a kli sheni that is liquid. According to these poskim one would not be allowed to put cold food onto hot food even though the food is in a kli sheni. However, the halacha does not follow this view and one is in fact allowed to put cold food onto hot food that is above yad soledet bo in a kli sheni. It is important to keep in mind that this mahloket is only relevant when the food being put into the kli sheni is raw. If the food is cooked then according to all poskim one may put it into the kli sheni. Putting food/liquid onto a kli sheni is quite common. Examples may include pouring gravy over meat, putting choresh on rice, or dropping a piece of ice into soup to cool it down.
