<font size=3>Not long ago I referred to the article at
<a href="http://cor.ca/view/169/cooking_on_yom_tov.html" eudora="autourl">
http://cor.ca/view/169/cooking_on_yom_tov.html<br><br>
</a>In response someone wrote to me, "</font><font size=2>This piece
states that Sabbath mode ovens allow the user to open and close the oven
door at will, even on Shabbos." I just had another look at the
article and I no longer see this in the article. <br><br>
Furthermore, I received the following:<br><br>
</font><font size=3>I have seen Rabbi Heber's article on oven and stove
use on Shabbos. In the article Rabbi Heber states that the Star-K
Certified Sabbath mode ovens can be opened multiple times on
Shabbos. Please be advised that the Sabbath mode ovens certified by
Star-K do NOT allow for multiple openings and closings of the oven door
on Shabbos. The configuration or the sabbath mode was to allow changing
of the oven temperature on Yom Tov through a gramma (random delay) . As
you may know this is a point of dispute that Rabbi Miller in Toronto has
taken issue with. However we do not suggest that one would be allowed to
open and close these ovens at will on Shabbos. We consider that to be
gram havara. We specifically suggest a onetime opening and removal
of all foods on Shabbos, so that the resulting havara would be unwanted
as well.<br><br>
We urge you to please correct this point in the article so as not to
cause Chilul Shabbos.<br><br>
Sincerely,<br><br>
