If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the previous Halachos on this and other topics.
1) We will now discuss the prohibition of "Chazara, returning something to the heat source".
A pot containing food that was removed from the fire or heat source on Shabbos may not be returned to the same [or another] heat source even if the food was fully cooked (unless certain conditions are met, which we will discuss tomorrow B'Ezras Hashem).(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim Siman 253:2)
2) If the prohibition of Chazara was transgressed and a pot that was removed was returned to the heat source, it must be removed again immediately. (See Chazon Ish Siman 37:26)
If Chazara was transgressed, even inadvertently, and the food became better cooked because of this, or if the food was cold when it was returned to the heat source and is now hot, the food is prohibited to eat for the duration of that Shabbos. (See Rama Siman 253:1 and Mishna Berura S"K 35. See also Shulchan Aruch Siman 257:1 and Chazon Ish Siman 37:27)
If, however, the food was not enhanced or additionally heated by being returned to the heat source, it is permitted to eat the food, even if it was returned purposely. (Shulchan Aruch and Chazon Ish ibid.)
In cases where the food was cold and returning it to the heat source only heated it up but did not otherwise enhance the food, some Poskim suggest that once the food became cold again (i.e. returned to the state to which it was before returning to the heat source) it is once again permitted to eat. (Pri Megadim quoted in Biur Halacha Siman 253:5 Dibur Hamaschil L'Hachem)
Other Poskim, however, do not concur with this leniency. For Halacha L'Ma'aseh, of course, a Rav must be consulted. (Chazon Ish ibid.)

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.

Reader's Question:
Can you please explain what the significance and/or the reason why people hand out garlic and sugar at a pidyon haben?
Answer:
A food that was part of a Seudas Mitzvah, when taken home and used again in a different dish transmits some of the kedusha of the Mitzvah into the new food.
It is said that one who partakes of a Seudas Pidyon Haben is as if he fasted for 84 days (See Bamidbar 3:49 where the Posuk says the word "Pid-yom" and the seforim see in this word an allusion to "Pei Daled (84) Yom (Days)".
Thus, due to the significance of this meal we try and make it stretch into other meals and dishes.
Garlic and sugar are two foods that basically never spoil and can thus be stored for a long time for use in another dish.
Thus, the minhag developed to give these out at the special occasion of the Pidyon Haben.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son
-- Rudyard Kipling
