Pesachim3: 1
אֵלּוּ עוֹבְרִין בַּפֶּסַח: כֻּתָּח הַבַּבְלִי, וְשֵׁכָר הַמָּדִי, וְחֹמֶץ הָאֲדוֹמִי, וְזִיתוֹם הַמִּצְרִי, וְזוֹמָן שֶׁל צַבָּעִים, וַעֲמִילָן שֶׁל טַבָּחִים, וְקוֹלָן שֶׁל סוֹפְרִים. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: אַף תַּכְשִׁיטֵי נָשִׁים. זֶה הַכְּלָל: כָּל שֶׁהוּא מִמִּין דָּגָן — הֲרֵי זֶה עוֹבֵר בַּפֶּסַח. הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ בְאַזְהָרָה, וְאֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם כָּרֵת.
These must be removed on Pesach: Babylonian kutach, Median beer, Idumean vinegar, Egyptian zisom, dyers' broth, cooks' dough and scribes' paste. R' Eliezer says: also women's cosmetics.  This is the general rule: Whatever is of a species of grain must be removed on Pesach. These are in the category of a prohibition but they are not subject to kares.
Pesachim3: 2
בָּצֵק שֶׁבְּסִדְקֵי עֲרֵבָה: אִם יֵשׁ כַּזַּיִת בְּמָקוֹם אֶחָד — חַיָּב לְבַעֵר; וְאִם לֹא — בָּטֵל בְּמִעוּטוֹ. וְכֵן לְעִנְיַן הַטֻּמְאָה: אִם מַקְפִּיד עָלָיו — חוֹצֵץ; וְאִם רוֹצֶה בְקִיּוּמוֹ — הֲרֵי הוּא כָעֲרֵבָה.  בָּצֵק הַחֵרֵשׁ, אִם יֵשׁ כַּיּוֹצֵא בוֹ שֶׁהֶחְמִיץ — הֲרֵי זֶה אָסוּר.
When dough remains in the grooves of a kneading trough, if there is as much as an olive's [volume] in one place, he must remove [it]; but if not, it is null because of its insignificance. And likewise regarding the [laws of] contamination. If he objects to it, it interposes; but if he desires it to remain, then it is as the trough.  [Regarding] “deaf” dough, if there is [dough] similar to it that has already leavened, it is forbidden.
Pesachim3: 3
כֵּיצַד מַפְרִישִׁין חַלָּה בְטֻמְאָה בְּיוֹם טוֹב? רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: לֹא תִקְרָא לָהּ שֵׁם, עַד שֶׁתֵּאָפֶה.  רַבִּי יְהוּדָה בֶּן בְּתֵירָא אוֹמֵר: תַּטִּיל בַּצּוֹנֵן.  אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ: לֹא זֶה הוּא חָמֵץ שֶׁמֻּזְהָרִים עָלָיו בְּבַל יֵרָאֶה וּבְבַל יִמָּצֵא, אֶלָּא מַפְרַשְׁתָּהּ וּמַנִּיחַתָּהּ עַד הָעֶרֶב; וְאִם הֶחֱמִיצָה — הֶחֱמִיצָה.
How do we separate challah from contaminated dough on the festival?  R' Eliezer says: She should not designate it with the name [challah] until it is baked. R' Yehudah ben Beseira says: Let it be cast into cold water.  Said R' Yehoshua: This is not the leaven concerning which we are warned, It shall not be seen (Exodus 13:7) and It shall not be found (Exodus 12:19). But he separates it and leaves it until the evening; and if it leavens, it leavens.
Pesachim3: 4
רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר: שָׁלֹשׁ נָשִׁים לָשׁוֹת כְּאַחַת וְאוֹפוֹת בְּתַנּוּר אֶחָד, זוֹ אַחַר זוֹ.  וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: שָׁלֹשׁ נָשִׁים עוֹסְקוֹת בַּבָּצֵק: אַחַת לָשָׁה, וְאַחַת עוֹרֶכֶת, וְאַחַת אוֹפָה.  רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר: לֹא כָל הַנָּשִׁים וְלֹא כָל הָעֵצִים וְלֹא כָל הַתַּנּוּרִים שָׁוִין.  זֶה הַכְּלָל: תָּפַח — תִּלְטֹשׁ בְּצוֹנֵן.
Rabban Gamliel says: Three women may knead at the same time and bake in the same oven, one after the other. But the Sages say: Three women may be occupied with dough [simultaneously]: one kneads, another shapes, and a third bakes.  R' Akiva says: Not all women and not all kinds of wood and not all ovens are alike.  This is the general rule: If [the dough] rises let her wet it with cold water.
Pesachim3: 5
שֵׂאוּר יִשָּׂרֵף, וְהָאוֹכְלוֹ פָּטוּר. סִדּוּק יִשָּׂרֵף, וְהָאוֹכְלוֹ חַיָּב כָּרֵת.  אֵיזֶהוּ ,,שֵׂאוּר”? כְּקַרְנֵי חֲגָבִים; ,,סִדּוּק” — שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ סְדָקָיו זֶה בָזֶה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה.  וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: זֶה וָזֶה הָאוֹכְלוֹ חַיָּב כָּרֵת. וְאֵיזֶהוּ ,,שֵׂאוּר”? כָּל שֶׁהִכְסִיפוּ פָנָיו, כְּאָדָם שֶׁעָמְדוּ שַׂעֲרוֹתָיו.
Partly leavened dough must be burned, but one who eats it is exempt [from punishment]. Furrowed dough must be burned and one who eats it is liable to kares.  Which [dough] is [classified as] “partly leavened”? — [When the furrows are] like locusts' horns. [Which is classified as] “furrowed”? — When the furrows run into each other —- [these are] the words of R' Yehudah.  But the Sages say: [If] one eats either of these he is liable to kares. [If so,] which is “partly leavened dough”? — Whenever its surface turns pallid, like [that of] a man whose hairs stand on end.
Pesachim3: 6
אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר שֶׁחָל לִהְיוֹת בַּשַּׁבָּת — מְבַעֲרִים אֶת הַכֹּל מִלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר;  וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: בִּזְמַנָּן;  רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בַּר צָדוֹק אוֹמֵר: תְּרוּמָה מִלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת, וְחֻלִּין בִּזְמַנָּן.
[If] the fourteenth [of Nissan] falls on the Sabbath, we remove everything before the Sabbath —- [these are] the words of R' Meir.  But the Sages say: [Everything is removed] at its [usual] time;  R' Elazer bar Tzadok says: Terumah [must be removed] before the Sabbath and chullin at its [usual] time.
Pesachim3: 7
הַהוֹלֵךְ לִשְׁחוֹט אֶת פִּסְחוֹ, וְלָמוּל אֶת בְּנוֹ, וְלֶאֱכוֹל סְעוּדַת אֵרוּסִין בְּבֵית חָמִיו, וְנִזְכַּר שֶׁיֶּשׁ לוֹ חָמֵץ בְּתוֹךְ בֵּיתוֹ: אִם יָכוֹל לַחֲזוֹר, וּלְבַעֵר, וְלַחֲזוֹר לְמִצְוָתוֹ — יַחֲזוֹר וִיבַעֵר; וְאִם לָאו — מְבַטְּלוֹ בְלִבּוֹ.  לְהַצִּיל מִן הַנָּכְרִים, וּמִן הַנָּהָר, וּמִן הַלִּסְטִים, וּמִן הַדְּלֵקָה, וּמִן הַמַּפֹּלֶת — יְבַטֵּל בְּלִבּוֹ. וְלִשְׁבּוֹת שְׁבִיתַת הָרְשׁוּת — יַחֲזוֹר מִיָּד.
[If] someone is going to slaughter his pesach-offering, to circumcise his son, or to dine at a betrothal feast at the house of his father-in-law, and he remembers that he has chametz at home —- if he is able to return, remove [it], and [then] return to his mitzvah, he must go back and remove [it]; but if not, he nullifies it in his heart.  [If he is on his way] to save [people] from a [marauding] troop, from a river, from bandits, from a fire, or from a collapsed building, he nullifies it in his heart. [If] it was but to establish a voluntary resting place, he must return at once.
Pesachim3: 8
וְכֵן מִי שֶׁיָּצָא מִירוּשָׁלַיִם וְנִזְכַּר שֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּיָדוֹ בְּשַׂר קֹדֶשׁ: אִם עָבַר צוֹפִים — שׂוֹרְפוֹ בִמְקוֹמוֹ; וְאִם לָאו — חוֹזֵר וְשׂוֹרְפוֹ לִפְנֵי הַבִּירָה מֵעֲצֵי הַמַּעֲרָכָה.  וְעַד כַּמָּה הֵן חוֹזְרִין? רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר: זֶה וָזֶה בִּכְבֵיצָה; רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: זֶה וָזֶה בִּכְזַיִת; וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: בְּשַׂר קֹדֶשׁ — בִּכְזַיִת, וְחָמֵץ — בִּכְבֵיצָה.
Similarly, [if] someone left Jerusalem and remembered that he had sacrificial meat in his hand —- if he has passed Tzofim, he burns it where he is; but if not, he [must] return and burn it before the Temple with the wood of the [altar] pyre.  And for how much [chametz or meat] must they return? — R' Meir says: In either case, [when there is] as much as an egg; R' Yehudah says: In either case, [when there is] as much as an olive. but the Sages say: [For] sacrificial meat, as much as an olive, but [for] chametz, as much as an egg.
