Q. I’m joining the army as a chaplain. Can I have the cook warm my special double wrapped kosher food on Shabbos? He knows it is for me.

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you may ask him before Shabbos to put it in the oven at the same time and together (on top) of the other covered food. This will result in the cook doing a melocho mainly for the Gentiles.
