Core Text of Chazal

Core Text — Pesachim 41a

תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: יָכוֹל צְלָאוֹ כׇּל צוֹרְכּוֹ יְהֵא חַיָּיב — תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר: ״אַל תֹּאכְלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ נָא וּבָשֵׁל מְבֻשָּׁל בַּמָּיִם״. נָא וּבָשֵׁל מְבֻשָּׁל אָמַרְתִּי לְךָ, וְלֹא שֶׁצְּלָאוֹ כׇּל צוֹרְכּוֹ.

English: The Sages taught: One might think that one who roasted it thoroughly [until charred] is liable — therefore it says “You shall not eat of it underdone or cooked in water”; underdone and cooked I told you, and not that one roasted it completely.

What Is Learned

Over-roasting until the meat is charred is not the prohibition of na or mevushal.
