If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1)We discussed the concept of "Ain Bishul Achar Bishul, a cooked item cannot be re-cooked".
Besides for Bishul, cooking [in liquid], there are other methods for uncooked foods to be prepared, namely baking and roasting (which heat the foods via heat alone without utilizing liquids).
There is a discussion amongst the Rishonim if the rule of "Ain Bishul Achar Bishul" applies to these methods as well.
In other words, would it be permitted to cook a roasted item or to roast a cooked item? Would it be permitted to cook a baked item or to bake a cooked item?
The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim Siman 318:5) quotes both opinions
The Rama (ibid.) rules that it is best to be stringent and not place baked items into hot liquid that is beyond Yad Soledes Bo, even in a Kli Sheini. This is the prevalent ruling that is followed L'Chatchilah.
2) Thus, a piece of Challah or baked croutons should not be placed into a bowl of hot soup unless the soup is already in a Kli Shlishi (even though usually we say there is already no Bishul in a Kli Sheini, for certain items, such as bread, which are Kalei HaBishul we maintain that even in a Kli Sheini it will be Bishul. We shall discuss Kalei HaBishul more at length in the near future B'Ezras Hashem), and surely the soup should not be poured directly from a Kli Rishon (Irui Kli Rishon) onto the Challah or baked croutons. (See Mishna Berura Siman 318:45)
We will discuss some more common, practical examples tomorrow B'Ezras Hashem.

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.

eader's Question:
Is one allowed to drink pure orange juice without a hechsher (Kosher Certification)?
Answer:
Although it is best not to eat or drink any processed product that does not have a Hechsher, according to many Kashrus agencies, 100% pure Orange Juice made in the USA doesnt require a Hechsher, due to the fact that if it wasn't 100% pure orange juice, it would not be able to be called "juice" according to USDA standards.
It is still best to seek out a brand with a Hechsher and not rely on this, as it is hard to know which machines it was packaged in etc.
