Baking in the Oven on Yom Tov
Baking in the Oven on Yom Tov
Question
Hello, is it permitted to bake challah and cakes in the oven during the holiday/Yom Tov? Of course, the oven was turned on in advance and is operating by means of a Shabbat timer.
Thank you very much
Answer
Hello,
It is permitted to bake challah and cakes in the oven on Yom Tov when it was turned on before Yom Tov, or if it was switched on by a Shabbat timer on Yom Tov itself (and so writes in Sefer Chazon Ovadia, Yom Tov, pages 55, 72).
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
