Responsa for Zevachim 190:6
אמר רבא ת"ש אחד שבישל בו ואחד שעירה לתוכו רותח
Rami B'Hama asked: What if one suspended [the flesh] in the air-space of an [earthen] oven?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus boiling or cooking it.');"><sup>5</sup></span> Is the Divine Law particular about boiling and absorbing; or perhaps, [it is particular] about boiling [even] without absorbing?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The flesh is thus cooked, but the oven absorbs nothing of it. Does Scripture mean that only a vessel in which it is boiled and which thereby absorbs some of it must be broken; or perhaps it must be broken even when it does not absorb?');"><sup>6</sup></span>
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. An oven was greased with fat-tail, and before it was reheated, bread was baked therein. Is it permissible to eat this bread?
A. This bread may not be eaten, lest perchance one eat it with milk. However, it may be sold to a Gentile, since in a Rabbinical prohibition we do not take into consideration the remote possibility that the Gentile will resell the bread to a Jew.
This Responsum is addressed to R. Tobiah.
