<p>Segue from the Avodah V27n130 discussion: can one use solid butter on Shabbos (I'm thinking of 'shmearing' a pat onto baked goods, but I guess the Q would also be relevant to placing a pat onto a hot food)? Seemingly involves not only a change from solid to liquid but also (more importantly?) m'macheiq. Normally, I would first ask such a Q of my Rav, but as the issue is totally theoretical for me but may have general relevance/applications.... Thanks. <br>

All the best from <br>
