Does one who tastes food after cooking (to see if it tastes good, not to adjust seasoning) need a bracha?
Synopsis
The Magen Avraham initially implies this would count as eating (requiring a bracha), since the tasting is not to adjust seasoning. However, the Eliyah Rabbah and Pri Megadim hold this is also considered tasting as long as one's intent is not to eat.
