DY -“The food was put on the fire before Shabbos, so it’s not muktzah. In your case, since food was not on a fire, and it’s assur to ask a nochri to cook it, it’s muktzah.”
Ah- please, we are talking about Muktza here – nothing to do with a fire. At the time Shabbos came in was the food raw or not? Yes it was -so why isn’t it Muktza acc. to you?
The only P’shat that makes sense is like me!
