Hilchos Kashrus #6-Bishul Akum
Rabbi Shlomo Eisenberg
Can one buy french fries on the boardwalk when everything is kosher? Can I hire a chef to make a dinner party in my home? May one eat split-pea soup cooked by a non-Jew? Are doughnuts included in the prohibition of bishul akum? Is it bishul akum if a Jew turned the stove on and a non-Jew placed the pot on the fire? My housekeeper did me "a favor" and put my chicken soup up to boil; may I eat it?
