Question:
Hello,
If one eats 8 ounces of baked ziti (noodles that were first boiled then baked), does one need to say birkat hamazon because he ate something baked, or no because it was a maaseh kedera?
Thank you.
Answer:
Baked Ziti is considered a maaseh kedera, because it was already edible before it was baked, and therefore even if someone ate a lot of it, it is considered as if he ate a lot of macaroni.
