Good catch,<br /><br />2) Since the Magan Avraham specifically says that the pot need to be kashered as a knass (penalty) for cooking b'mazid, I would claim that if you hold by the MA that a pot that cooked only water on shabbat would still need to be kashered.<br /><br />3) I agree both the pipe and boiler suggestions were silly - as stated we were kicking the ideas around to see where they would lead us. I find this both enjoyable and productive, YMMV.<br /><br />As to the scarf not being food, I assert it was improved by the heat since it became dry as a result. The water wasn't materially improved by the heat - it evaporated.Larry Lennhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578073969473815180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20239360.post-22310275475889154202010-01-13T13:31:08.455-05:002010-01-13T13:31:08.455-05:00That's a clever idea.

Cooking bossor v'cholov is assur; cooking other non kosher foods is perfectly permissible. Cooking bacon to sell to non-jews is not a problem. Second, water does not give ta'am, so even if you were to cook water in a pot on shabbos m'maizid (remember, if it's b'shogeg it would be muttar b'kday she-naaseh), the pot wouldn't need to be kashered before it could be used. Third, the speculation about the pipes in your house needing to be kashered is just silly. The (non)issue here is bliyos, which aren't going to get past the outer layer of the radiator.<br /><br />Also, the suggestion that the scarf is the "food" is also ridiculous. Unless the heat improves the item, it's not bishul. Nice try, but you really need to do better.machmirnoreply@blogger.com
