May one place fruit that is normally eaten raw around a pot close to nightfall on Erev Shabbat?
Synopsis
Fruits eaten raw are treated as if already at the ma'achal ben Derusa'i stage, so there is no coal-stirring concern. The Mechaber permits placing them around a pot even if they will not finish cooking before dark, but prohibits replacing the cover or adding more after nightfall.
