May a non-Jew move food from the oven to a heating stove on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The Rema rules that a non-Jew may move pots from an oven (where they were stored for heat retention) to a heating stove, and the non-Jew may then light the stove, as long as the food has not completely cooled. A Jew may not do this. If still hot, a Jew may place pots next to the heating stove.
