The empty chulent pot

Hi,

An empty cooking pot is muktzeh as a kli shemelachto l'issur on Shabbat, since it is dedicated for a use that is prohibited on Shabbat. One may move it only for the sake of 1) using it for a permitted purpose, or 2) using the space in which it is located.

A chulent pot, from which the chulent has been removed, may be moved on Shabbat for either of the aforementioned purposes. In addition, one may move it if it is repellent, and it is in a space in which one does not leave such items.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:232:1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
