Talmud for Zevachim 11:7

אֶחָד שֶׁבִּשֵּׁל בּוֹ וְאֶחָד שֶׁעֵרָה לְתוֹכוֹ רוֹתֵחַ, אֶחָד קָדְשֵׁי קָדָשִׁים וְאֶחָד קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים, טְעוּנִין מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, קָדָשִׁים קַלִּים אֵינָן טְעוּנִין מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה. רַבִּי טַרְפוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם בִּשֵּׁל בּוֹ מִתְּחִלַּת הָרֶגֶל, יְבַשֵּׁל בּוֹ אֶת כָּל הָרָגֶל. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, עַד זְמַן אֲכִילָה. מְרִיקָה וּשְׁטִיפָה, מְרִיקָה כִּמְרִיקַת הַכּוֹס, וּשְׁטִיפָה כִּשְׁטִיפַת הַכּוֹס. מְרִיקָה בְּחַמִּין וּשְׁטִיפָה בְּצּוֹנֵן. וְהַשַּׁפּוּד וְהָאַסְכְּלָה מַגְעִילָן בְּחַמִּין:

Both a vessel in which one cooked and one into which was poured a boiling liquid require scouring and rinsing. Both [vessels used to cook] Kodshai Kodashim [sacrifices of the highest degree of sanctity. They may be slaughtered only on the north-west corner of the altar, and consumed only within the Temple compound by male priests, or burnt entirely] and [those used to cook] Kodashim Kalim [sacrifices of a lesser degree of sanctity. They may be slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard and consumed by most anyone, anywhere in Jerusalem] require scouring and rinsing; Rabbi Shimon says: [Vessels used to cook] Kodashim Kalim do not need scouring and rinsing. Rabbi Tarfon says: If one cooked in [a vessel] at the start of a festival, he may cook in it during the entire festival; but the Sages say: [He may only cook in it] during the time [allotted for] eating [the sacrifice's meat]. [Regarding] scouring and rinsing: Scouring is like scouring [the inside] of a cup, and rinsing is like rinsing [the outside] of a cup; scouring [is performed] with hot water and rinsing [is performed] with cold water. The spit and the grill are scalded with hot water.

Jerusalem Talmud Maasrot

May one put spices at the bottom and pour¹⁶⁷Boiling water. Is this cooking on the Sabbath and cooking in the sense of Mishnah 7 here? The question arises because of Mishnah Šabbat 3:6: “One may not put spices into a hot pan or a pot taken from the fire, but one may put them on a plate or a bowl.” This is similar to using oil as described in Mishnah 7 here. on them from above? Rebbi Jonah said, it is forbidden and pouring acts as first vessel. The force of Rebbi Jonah comes from this¹⁶⁸Mishnah Zebaḥim 11:7. Lev. 6:21 precribes that pottery vessels after being used to cook a ḥaṭṭat sacrifice must be broken and metal vessels cleansed and washed. The Mishnah explicitly includes pouring hot water in the biblical definition of “cooking”.: “Both vessels used for cooking or into which it was poured boiling.” (And here, you say so?)¹⁶⁹This sentence is missing in the Šabbat text and is out of place here. Rebbi Yose said, there a pottery vessel absorbs; spices are not cooked¹⁷⁰It is generally agreed that pottery must be broken because it absorbs particles from the sacrifice which on the following day become forbidden. Cf. J. Milgrom, Leviticus 1–16, pp. 404–407, New York 1991.. Rebbi Yose bar Rebbi Abun objected: Did we not state¹⁷¹Sifra Ẓaw, Pereq 7(1). The argument is that Lev. 6:21 reads a passive “a pottery vessel in which something has been cooked”, not “in which one cooked”. This is taken to mean that one cooks in, not by the vessel. In that case, the vessel is really “second vessel” (cf. Note 163) since its walls do not transfer heat to the meat being cooked. The only case one can think of is pouring boiling water into the vessel. Since the argument of R. Yose does not work for metal pots, R. Jonah is justified., “the same holds for brass vessels.” Can one say that brass vessels absorb?

Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat

HALAKHAH: May one put spices at the bottom and pour on them from above¹⁵⁵Since the Mishnah forbids putting spices in a pot not on a fire but still boiling hot.? Rebbi Jonah said, it is forbidden and pouring confers the status of primary vessel. The force of Rebbi Jonah comes from this¹⁵⁶Mishnah Zevaḥim 11:7.
