Considering that a 'compact' microwave oven is 0.8 cu ft, acc. to this, almost all of our ovens and cooking devices are "large." Rav Ovadia quotes this in the name of 'the majority of acharonim' ("Rov Aharonim").<BR/><BR/>I wonder how he answered up the Yad Eliyahu, Pri Hadash, Pri Megadim, etc...?Amitai Blicksteinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12472381774406044599noreply@blogger.com
