DaasYochid -“We don’t pasken like him.”
The Aruch Hashulchan said you can in certain instances. I found a better instance than the A.H.!
Also having the Yid help -the A.H. just said he might help out -he didn’t say it is L’eecuva!
“Let me clarify what I was addressing. Aside from the issur of havarah in turning on the crockpot, there’s also the issur of bishul – cooking the raw cholent. Even if the crockpot were not considered aish, it would be bishul.
Now, one might argue that if the crockpot were not aish (it is; I’m going l’shitoscho), there would be no bishul D’oraiso, similar to cooking in the sun (which is entirely mutar), or something heated by the sun (toldas hachamah which is assur m’d’rabanon). For this, I brought R’ Moshe’s teshuvah that cooking with a microwave is a D’oraiso, and so would be cooking in a crockpot, even if there were no aish.”
And what I’m telling you is – Rav Moshe is a Chiddush regarding cooking in a microwave -you have no proof to apply this elsewhere.
To be a D’oraisa it has to be similar to Meleches Hamishkon -cooking in a crock pot ISN’T similar!
