There was an article regarding Papouchado Pesach cookies on the main site earlier.
There are actually a number of problems with them even for Sefardim besides Stam Yeinam.
They contain salt, which is Halachically equivalent to water. Consequently, they essentially contain water and Mei Peiros, which is certainly Assur.
Furthermore, they contain baking powder/soda which makes them rise. While nfermentationion which is the simple translation of Chametz, a number of Poskim suspect that Mei Peiros which is made to rise usageage of additioningredientsnts may be Chometz.
What are you talking about? Salt is like water?! Since when? And which poskim exactly hold that baking powder or soda can make a difference? Please list them.
It said the process takes 27 minutes, and it’s too long. If mei peros do not cause chometz, what’s the problem?
Stam yenam? They use yain asher eino mevushal there??!?
water mixed with mmei peiros is machhmitz right away
Then what’s the deal with the 27 min.? Even a little bit is a problem.
His brother Rav Avraham said that everything there is kosher. And what about the 27 min., if it does not cause chimutz?
I just looked in the M.B. and the Biur Halocha, and it is not poshut at all that it is a problem, and the Chofets Chaim matirs in many cases. Look there! Or in E. Yisroel, it is always lehachmir?!?
hello99, see the very next siman, 463, where it’s clear that even sea salt is OK if it’s only the small amount that one would put in cookies.
Bichlal, the distinction between sea salt and rock salt doesn’t make sense; it’s exactly the same substance. All salt is originally sea salt, it’s just that some of it dried up hundreds or thousands of years ago when the sea receded and the area became land. It’s all NaCl, and has exactly the same effect. And this distinction is not something we received from Chazal; it seems (from the little I’ve seen) to be the Darkei Moshe’s own chidush, so we are not obliged to accept it if it’s neged hachush.
So who says the halocho is like the Ritvo?
And we are not obligated to accept a chidush of achronim when it is neged hachush.
And Beis Yosef holds it is only “nochon”.
