We continue discussing cases where hatmana is permitted.

We begin the concept of hatmana, which is the rabbinic prohibition of completely covering a pot in order to maintain its heat.

We discuss the conditions when one can move an item around on the blech, when one can add hot water to an item on the blech that could dry out, and what the status is of an item where the electricity went out.

We go through the conditions that need to be met in order to take something from the fire and return it there on Shabbos.

We discuss placing a not-completely-cooked item near the fire, taking a hot pot that is on another pot and placing it directly on the fire, and we start the laws of Chazara, returning a pot to the fire.

Placing an already cooked item on the fire on Shabbos is prohibited because it 'looks like cooking.' We explore when this prohibition applies, and how one can warm up an item in a permissible manner. We also discuss the permissibility of warming on a hot plate or 'plata.'

Under most circumstances, raw meat may be placed on the fire immediately before Shabbos as we are not concerned that one will stoke the coals, as it will, in any event, only be ready for Shabbos day.

We discuss the cases of an oven that is fueled by items that do not create substantive coals. We also speak about different circumstances where it would be permitted to place an item on the fire before Shabbos.

We begin the concept of Shehiya, which is leaving something from before Shabbos to cook on Shabbos. Although this is permitted from the Torah, the sages limited this type of action to certain permissible circumstances.

We discuss the different types of water heaters - solar and electric, and their respective ramifications.
