Laws of Shabbat - 13

You are allowed to place cold food next to the fire (not on it), even if it was not cooked completely, in order to remove some of the cold or in order to separate the items. This is allowed as long as one does not leave it there long enough for the temperature of the food to reach 45 degrees Celcius. However, it is forbidden to place the food in an area where it will definitely reach 45 degrees Celcius, even if you do not have intention for this to happen.

If there is a great need, like for a sick person or for a baby, one may place the food next to the fire and allow it to cook completely, even if it a cold liquid.
