May fully cooked dry food (without liquid) that has cooled be placed near a fire on Shabbat, even where it is yad soledes bo?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that fully cooked dry food may be placed near a fire even at yad soledes bo temperatures. The Rema clarifies that even if it has already cooled this is permitted, but if hot, even liquid-containing food is permitted near (but not on) the fire. Some authorities (HaMagid) permit even cooled food as long as it is not placed directly on fire.
