Thank you and Tizkeh L'Mitzvos!
If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1)A dry food that was already cooked before Shabbos to a minimum stage of Ma'achal Ben D'Rusai may be maintained on a fire or other heat source at the onset of Shabbos even if it is totally cold, as in the case of a cooked item Chazal did not worry about the possibility of the coals being touched or the heat otherwise being raised. (See Mishna Berura Siman end of Siman 259 in his summary to the Halachos of Bishul. See also Shulchan Aruch HaRav Siman 253:7 and Chazon Ish Siman 37:3)
2) Regarding leaving water or a cold food containing liquid that has previously been cooked on a heat source at the onset of Shabbos, some Poskim prohibit it similar to Bishul where the liquid that became cold is not considered cooked anymore while others allow it to be left on the heat source before Shabbos. (See Pri Megadim, Aishel Avraham, Siman 253:41 and Chazon Ish Siman 37:27)
Furthermore, some Poskim differentiate between water (which they prohibit because once it is cold it loses any semblance of its past cooking) and other foods that contain liquid (which they allow due to it still retaining its status as cooked even though it is cold).
Though the prevalent custom is to be stringent, A Rav must be consulted for Halacha L'ma'aseh.

Reader's Question:
What has to be checked for shatnez? Just things with linings or even 100% wool sweaters? what if the label says there's no linen?
Answer:
Certain things that say 100% wool may still contain shatnez, so a reliable shatnez tester needs to be consulted as to which clothes needs to be checked and labels cannot be trusted.
