Bishul 29 - Bishul After Maachal Ben Drusai; Stirring 1 (Klal 20 Siman 9) S0526
We are beginning siman 9. Due to the complexity of this siman, we will begin with an outline.
In this siman, the Chayei Adam will discuss whether bishul achar bishul applies to a food while it is between the state of maachal ben drusai and fully cooked. Additionally, he will discuss practical scenarios of this state. For example, returning something to the fire after it was removed from the fire, returning food to its kli rishon, or food is still in its kli rishon and off of the fire, and someone wants to stir it. Regarding these points, the Chayei Adam will discuss the concept of kiruv bishul, that making something cook more quickly, even when off the fire, will hasten the cooking process and falls under the issur of bishul.
The Chayei Adam will also discuss using a ladle to scoop out or stir while something is on the fire. Inevitably, it will cause the pot to get stirred, resulting in kiruv bishul.
The Chayei Adam will introduce an opinion that even if a food is fully cooked, if it is on the fire, it is still possible to transgress bishul. This opinion would be relevant to a person stirring on the fire, or ladling out of the pot while it is on the fire.
To review, we will discuss turning not fully-cooked food into fully-cooked food, through the process of stirring or scooping, both when the food is on the fire and when it is off the fire. Then, he will discuss stirring or scooping from a fully cooked food while it is on the fire and off the fire.
Now, we can begin the siman itself.
The Chayei Adam writes that one will be chayav for cooking a food which is between maachal ben derusai and fully cooked, because it makes the food more edible. Many rishonim hold there is no concern of bishul in this situation, but the Tur and Beis Yosef follow the rishonim who hold that there is a concern of bishul, and conclude that one must be machmir due to the safeik deoraysa. Obvious cases would include placing a pot which is off of the fire back onto the fire, or returning the food to its original pot when the pot still has the status of a kli rishon.
The Chayei Adam continues, and writes that if a food is not fully cooked, one cannot scoop it out with a ladle. Scooping functions like stirring, and stirring causes kiruv bishul, hastening the process of bishul.
We will continue this thought in the upcoming shiur, be’ezas Hashem.
Summary
It is assur to finish cooking a food which is not fully cooked, even if it is maachal ben drusai.
Hastening the cooking process is known as kiruv bishul and it is assur medoraysa.
If a food is not fully cooked and still on the fire, it is assur to stir or scoop out of it due to the concept of kiruv bishul.
