Re: crock-pot Being that removing the lid does not add to the heat of the pot, it is permitted to remove it on Shabbat. Reply

Rabbi,

In this class you talk about putting a lid on a pot while it is still on the fire/blech. It is forbidden because, like stirring, it causes the food to cook better.

Many crock-pot recipes recommend removing the lid of the crock pot for the last half hour of the cooking process. This is to have some of the liquid boil away.

Since this helps the cooking process, is it forbidden the same way it is forbidden to put a lid on a pot that is on the fire? Or is there no problem, since you're not increasing the heat at all (in fact, you're decreasing it)? Reply
