What are the rules for squeezing pickled vegetables (kevashim) and cooked vegetables (shelakot) on Shabbat?
Synopsis
The rules depend on whether one squeezes for the vegetables' improvement or for their liquid. If for improvement (not needing the liquid), permitted. If for the liquid, may squeeze into food but not an empty vessel. Rabbeinu Chananel holds squeezing for the liquid incurs a chatat even into food.
