If one intentionally cooks on Shabbat, who is forbidden from eating the food and for how long?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that intentional cooking on Shabbat forbids the food to the cook forever but permits it to others after Shabbat immediately. Accidental cooking forbids it to everyone on that day but permits it to all after Shabbat. A major dispute between R' Yehuda and R' Meir underlies the ruling, with the Gra and Tosafists favoring R' Meir's stricter ruling.
