Q. If the caregiver asks one of the halachic shote patients above to turn on the stove, is that bishul akum for others?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is not bishul akum, since the Rabbinical prohibitions on the above apply only when it was actually food cooked by a Gentile. This cannot be worse than food that cooked itself in the heat of the sun, which is permitted. Besides, a shoite can even be under certain conditions, a Shochet.
