Shabbos 38

1) The Mishnah in Terumos writes that if someone cooks on Shabbos be'Shogeg, the food is permitted; be'Meizid, it is forbidden. Rebbi Chiya bar Aba ruled, that with regard to leaving cooked food on the stove, there is no difference between Shogeg and Meizid; some explain this to mean that our case is more lenient - and is always permitted; others, that it is more strict, and is always forbidden.
Why, in this context, should leaving a pot on the stove be ...

  1. ... more lenient than cooking it?
  2. ... more stringent than cooking it?
2)
(a) The Beraisa brings the case of 'a Tavshil she'Lo Bishel Kol Tzorko'.
What does this mean?

(b) Why is this a Kashya on both of the two opinions cited in the previous question?

(c) How does Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak, who forbid even Shogeg, answer the question?

(d) What do Rabbah and Rav Yosef, who permit even Meizid, do with it?

3)
(a) In the Beraisa that we are currently dealing with, Rebbi Meir permits even a pot that was left on a stove that is *not* Gerufah u'Ketumah, whereas Rebbi Yehudah forbids it even Bedieved.
How do we reconcile ...
1. ... Rebbi Meir - with his own opinion at the beginning of the Perek, where he forbids a cooked pot to be left on a stove which is not Gerufah u'Ketumah according to Beis Hillel.
2. ... Rebbi Yehudah - with his opinion there, where he permits it?
(b) Why does Rebbi Yossi permit hot water that was left on the stove, but not cooked eggs?

(c) The Gemara asks whether, if someone, believing that it is permitted (see Maharsha on Rashi d.h. 'Avar ve'Shaha') leaves a pot of cooked food on the stove, is permitted eat it that Shabbos or not.
Why is there no proof from Rebbi Yossi, who forbade the cooked eggs in the previous question, and who was speaking in precisely such a case?

What does this mean, and what is the Chidush?

(b) Abaye, thinking that the Mishnah is speaking by a Tanur or a Kupach that is *not* 'Gerufah u'Ketumah', asks on Rav Yosef from a Kupach which he lit with Gefes or with wood, and which the Mishnah gives the Din of a Tanur.
