Regarding Rav Moshe zl, turning off a gas oven on yom to and zilzul. 23 years ago I asked my Rav for practical guidance on proper stove and oven use before the first chag my wife and i spent in our apartment as a married couple. He told me point blank that rav moshe held that if it was “litzorech the food” I could even completely turn off the fire. With that he added that I should not tell others who might be a bit “loose” with the psak and do kibuy for no reason. In fact he said that Rav Moshe instructed that the psak not be widely disseminated for this reason. I mention it here because someone already spoke out the psak here, my pint is that contrary to that persons assertion Rav Moshe was very much concerned with zilzul yom to.
