STAR-K has worked with numerous appliance companies to make modern appliances more kosher-consumer friendly for Shabbos and Yom Tov. We have helped develop features that, in many cases, eliminate lights, icons, tones and digital displays; provide for timed bake without tones and icons; and enable temperature adjustments on Yom Tov.<\/p>\n

The appliance companies named this constellation of features “the Sabbath mode” \u2013 a naming decision that has contributed to some confusion by consumers as to the proper halachic use of these ovens on Shabbos.<\/p>\n

See below for a brief summary clarifying the proper halachic use of any oven on Shabbos:<\/p>\n

1. No adjustment to the temperature is permitted on Shabbos, even in Sabbath Mode.<\/p>\n

2. All food must be fully cooked<\/em> and placed in the oven before<\/em> Shabbos. No food (cooked or non-cooked) may be placed in the oven on Shabbos to re-warm or cook. This is true regarding ovens as well as warming drawers<\/em>.<\/p>\n

3. According to Rabbi Moshe Heinemann, STAR-K’s Rabbinic Administrator, a thermostatically controlled oven that is on during Shabbos (as opposed to one programmed to shut off via Time Bake) may be opened one time <\/em>and\u00a0all<\/em> the food must be removed from the oven at that time. The oven may not be accessed again during the remainder of Shabbos.<\/p>\n

4. The controls of an oven that is left on for Shabbos (or a portion of Shabbos through the use of Time Bake) should be covered (e.g., with a piece of aluminum foil). IMPORTANT: Be careful not to cover any vents.<\/p>\n

STAR-K would greatly appreciate the help of rabbonim in publicizing these important halachos<\/em> to their congregants.<\/p>\n

Consumers who are interested in STAR-K certified Sabbath Mode ovens are invited to visit the appliance page<\/a> of our site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
