anyone know why its ok for lights but not for hot plates? dh likes to set the timer especially in the summer because the kitchen gets so hot.
I know ppl use timers for air conditioners, electric nursing pumps, and things like that.
is it only problematic for cooking?
I will probably ask my rabbi too, but the response here is faster  |
I think the halacha of a timer is like that of a gentile shel Shabbat - you can't do everything with a timer. Lights definitely yes, heat/cooling yes. I'm not sure about anything else.
Electric nursing pumps you can definitely not just use them on a timer when you feel like it, because the pumping itself is a melacha. Everyone needs to ask their own rav with their individual circumstances if they can pump at all and how - sometimes it's allowed for pikuach nefesh (which is fairly wide because we are talking about babies) or the mother's health.
Mrs. Bissli - I don't think that heter is widely accepted. Is it only for previously cooked liquids? Like soup? I can't believe it would be for water which had never boiled - it is bishul by gramma.

so maybe if we're using the timer so that the kitchen doesnt get hot after we no longer need the food its like a heating/cooling issue. interesting. will be asking my rabbi. thanks for raising the issue
