Komentarz do Kelim 7:2
דָּכוֹן שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ בֵית קִבּוּל קְדֵרוֹת, טָהוֹר מִשּׁוּם כִּירָה, וְטָמֵא מִשּׁוּם כְּלִי קִבּוּל. הַצְּדָדִין שֶׁלּוֹ, הַנּוֹגֵעַ בָּהֶם אֵינוֹ טָמֵא מִשּׁוּם כִּירָה. הָרַחַב שֶׁלּוֹ, רַבִּי מֵאִיר מְטַהֵר, וְרַבִּי יְהוּדָה מְטַמֵּא. וְכֵן הַכּוֹפֶה אֶת הַסַּל וְעוֹשֶׂה עַל גַּבָּיו כִּירָה:
Płyta kuchenna z pojemnikiem na garnki nie podlega zanieczyszczeniu zgodnie z prawami pieca, ale podlega nieczystości jako naczynie. Cokolwiek dotknie jego boków, nie stanie się nieczyste zgodnie z prawami pieca. Jego szeroki bok: rabin Meir uważa, że jest czysty, ale rabin Yehudah uważa, że jest nieczysty. To samo prawo obowiązuje również wtedy, gdy ktoś odwraca kosz i robi na nim piec.
Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
דכון (elevated spot in the kitchen for vessels/a stand fixed to the stove or portable oven) – it is the language of a place/stand, like “in a certain place/בדוך פלן” [Berakhot 18b]. And this is a place that projects/protrudes from the portable oven with caves for two pots/כירה, that when they remove the pot from the portable oven with caves for two pots, they set it down on this projection/protrusion but sometimes it has a receptacle for two or three pots.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
Introduction
Most of today's mishnah deals with a protrusion on the side of the oven used to store pots to keep them warm. It is called a "dachon" in Hebrew and is usually translated as a "hob" (a word that I will admit I have never used before).

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
טהור משום כירה – that if the portable oven with caves for two pots became [ritually] impure, it (i.e., the pot) did not become impure [on account of the portable oven]; alternatively, it does not defile what is attached like a portable oven with caves for two pots.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
A hob that has a receptacle for pots is clean as a stove but unclean as a receptacle. The hob is not considered to be a part of the stove, and therefore if the stove is defiled the hob remains pure. However, it can become impure independently since it is a receptacle. This means that it will contract impurity if something impure enters its airspace.

הצדדים שלו – the walls of the stand fixed to the stove or portable oven that are not part of the portable oven.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
As to its sides, whatever touches them does not become unclean as if the hob had been a stove, The outer edges of the hob which are not connected to the stove are not considered part of the stove. Thus if the stove is impure and food touches them, the food remains pure.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
הרחב שלו (its wide side) – this is the wall of the portable stove with caves for two pots itself to the side of the receptacle of the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven. But because the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven continually widens to the side of the portable oven, it is called רחב/its wide side.
Ask RabbiBookmarkShareCopy
English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
But as regards its wide side: Rabbi Meir holds it to be clean But Rabbi Judah holds it to be unclean. The rabbis argue with regard to the wide side that is attached to the stove. Rabbi Meir says that the part of the earthenware that faces the hob is clean, although the part that faces the stove is unclean. Rabbi Judah says that this entire piece of earthenware is used for the stove therefore it is all unclean.

רבי מאיר מטהר – for it is not considered like the portable oven with caves for two pots (see Tractate Kelim, Chapter 6, Mishnah 3).

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
The same law applies also where a basket was inverted and a stove was put upon it. The same rule as above applies to a situation where a person took a basket, and turned it over and used the bottom as a base for the stove. He then left part of the bottom as a hob. The hob itself is not subject to the impurity of the stove. The dispute is concerning the wall of the stove facing the hob part of the basket: is it part of the hob (Rabbi Meir) or not (Rabbi Judah)?

ורבי יהודה מטמא – that it is considered like the portable oven with caves for two pots. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehuda.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
וכן הכופה את הסל – and built the portable stove with caves for two pots on its back/on top of it (i.e., the basket), and it protrudes beyond the portable stove. But the basket is what defiles because it is a wooden utensil, but when he built upon it the portable stove and the width of the basket protrudes beyond the walls of the portable stove and they place the pots on that protrusion, the law is like the stand fixed to the stove/portable oven.
