Shabbat: Washing-Draining Food
You may wash or rinse food on Shabbat and pour off the water afterwards if there is no tangible dirt. (This is not boreir.)
If the food does have tangible or visible dirt, you may not wash or rinse the food.
You may wash and drain olives and other canned fruits and vegetables on Shabbat.
