Do our ovens/stoves constitute hatmanah (insulation) when food is placed directly on fire?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that if the pot touches the coals directly, it is hatmanah (forbidden by all). The Rema rules that as long as the pot is uncovered on top, it is not hatmanah even if sitting directly on fire, and this is the Ashkenazi custom.
