Passage is permissible to remove the shell by hand when the nut is still inside it (even partially), and doing so does not constitute "removing waste from food," nevertheless, once the shell is removed and a piece of it lies among pieces of nut or complete nuts, removing the shell would be a Shabbat violation of "removing waste from food." Rather, one should take the nut from the shells and refrain from touching the shells at all. Even if the shells were lying separately without any nuts mixed with them, handling them would desecrate a major prohibition because of muktzah, as is common knowledge. It is difficult to be careful with all the above [and thus it is preferable to refrain from eating unshelled nuts altogether]. true Passage The Shabbat law prohibiting cooking does not apply to re-cooking dry food; nevertheless, if part of it dissolves, that part can cook again, since dissolved food can be re-cooked in heat "from which the hand recoils." Therefore, one should take great care to refrain from warming up roasted or cooked meat or fowl, if the juice that discharges from them will become so hot that the hand recoils from it. This would constitute a definite violation of Shabbat, G-d forbid. One should also take care to refrain from pouring hot water from which the hand recoils—from the vessel in which it was heated (keli rishon)—onto sugar. Doing so would be considered cooking, since the sugar dissolves. For the same reason, one should not act leniently with present-day salt, though it is already cooked; for since it later dissolves, one cannot act more leniently with it than with salt of old [which was not pre-cooked]. According to some opinions in the Code of Jewish Law, it is prohibited to put salt into hot liquid that has been poured into a second vessel (keli sheini); accordingly, one who is stringent—may blessings come upon him. true heading PREPARATIONS FOR SHABBAT Passage 1. One should rise early on Friday to prepare for Shabbat. Even a prestigious person who has much household help should make sure to personally contribute to the Shabbat preparations. Our greatest sages did not consider it beneath them to do some menial preparation in honor of the beloved and esteemed Shabbat. true Passage 2. The house should be cleaned and the table set in honor of Shabbat. The table should be covered with a tablecloth for the duration of Shabbat. true Passage 3. One should refrain from eating much on Friday, in order to enter the Shabbat with a healthy appetite. true Passage 4. On Friday, one should bathe in warm water in honor of the Shabbat. If this is not possible, at least the head, face, hands, and feet should be washed. (Some men have the custom of immersing in a mikveh before Shabbat.) One should then dress in festive clothing reserved for Shabbat. One should also take a haircut if necessary (unless it is Rosh Chodesh), and cut one's nails. (The Talmud states that nail pairings should be buried, or preferably burnt.) true Passage 5. It is customary to bake special bread in honor of Shabbat. It should be in the amount that requires "challah" to be set aside, so that the mitzvah of challah can be fulfilled (see page 87 for the blessing). true Passage 6. Before sunset, the head of the household should inquire whether challah has been separated, and remind the women to light the Shabbat candles at the proper time. He should also remind the entire household to stop their weekday activities. He should speak gently, so that his words will be heeded. He should not remind them too early, lest his reminder will be ignored. true
