# The Rabbinic prohibition of Shehiya is to leave a pot of food that’s not cooked on a Kirah (stove) from before Shabbat because one might come to stoke the coals. <Ref> S”A 253:1 based on Mishna Shabbat 36b with Rashi that the prohibition is based on stoking the coals. </ref>

# A Kirah was a stove in the times of the Gemara which that had room to hold two pots on top (with the heating element below). The Kirah is considered the most lenient of the stoves and it’s permissible to leave food on it on Shabbat by fulfilling one of five conditions: 1) The fire is covered 2) The food is considered totally cooked 3) The food is totally raw 4) The coals are removed 5) The fuel is straw, stubble or the like (which will be discussed below at length). <ref> S”A 253:1 writes that a Kirah has the resemblance of a large pot and has room for two pots. The five leniencies listed are all sourced in S”A 253:1 but will be discussed below at length. See Laws of Shabbat (Rabbi Shimon Eider; vol 4 pg 326) for a description and pictures. </ref>
