Question
Hello Rabbi,
is it permissible on Shabbat to heat a vessel containing dry food by placing it in a pot with boiling water that was heated before Shabbat (from a boiler)?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
It is forbidden to immerse food on Shabbat in a vessel full of hot water, due to the prohibition of insulation. 4
The prohibition of insulation usually applies to hot food, but in something that adds heat, it is forbidden to insulate even a cold item.
