Bartenura
המגיסה בקדירה (she stirs the pot) – she turns with a spoon that is in her hand the cooked dish in the pot.
אם הזיעה ידיה – from the vapor of the pot, her hands are made unclean/defiled as if she touched the liquid that is in the pot.
היו ידיה טמאות – if her hands sweated, the sweet is defiled on account of her hands and the pot is defiled, because the vapor makes a connection between the sweat that is on her hands to the liquids that are in the pot.
ר' יוסי אומר אם נטפו – the pot is not impure unless they dripped a drop at a time from the sweat that is in her hands into pot. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yossi.
היין שבכף טהור – and it doesn’t make it susceptible/fit [to receive ritual defilement], but it was not considered to be a liquid until he would empty it into the [other] vessel. And it is like he lacks a designation of liquids in regard to susceptibility [for ritual impurity, so also he lacks a designation of liquids regarding defilement and regarding wine poured as a libation.
ומגיסה בקדירה. מהפכת בכף שבידה לתבשיל שבקדירה:
אם הזיעו ידיה. מהבל הקדירה, נטמאו ידיה כאילו נגעה במשקה שבקדירה:
היו ידיה טמאות. אם הזיעו ידיה, נטמאת הזיעה מחמת ידיה, ונטמאת הקדירה, לפי שההבל מחבר בין הזיעה שבידיה למשקין שבקדירה:
ר׳ יוסי אומר אם נטפו. אין הקדירה טמאה אא״כ נטפו טיפין מן הזיעה שבידיה לתוך הקדירה. ואין הלכה כר׳ יוסי:
היין שבכף טהור. ואינו מכשיר, דלא הוחשב להיות משקה עד שיערה אותו לתוך הכלי. וכמו שאין לו תורת משקה לענין הכשר, כך אין לו תורת משקה לענין טומאה ולענין יין נסך:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

המערה מחם לחם – here also it is concerned with liquids that are in the upper vessel that empties from it which are pure/clean, and that the lower vessel that empties into it are impure.
מצונן לחם טמא – that the lower [vessel] there brings up vapor to the upper cold vessel and defiles it, that the cloud [of vapor] that rises from the hot [in the lower vessel] is considered like liquid.
וכוחו של תחתון יפה (that the force of the lower was stronger) – that its heat is greater than that of the upper [vessel]. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon, for since the upper [vessel] is hot, even though the lower [vessel] is hotter than it (i.e., the upper vessel), the activity of the lower [vessel] is not recognized in the upper [vessel] and does not defile it.
המערה מחם לחם. הכי נמי איירי שמשקין שבכלי עליון שמערה ממנו, טהורים. ושבכלי תחתון שמערה לתוכו, הן טמאין:
מצונן לחם טמא. שתחתון החם מעלה הבל לעליון הצונן ומטמאו, שהענן העולה מן החם כמשקה הוא חשוב:
וכוחו של תחתון יפה. שחומו גדול משל עליון. ואין הלכה כר׳ שמעון, שכיון שהעליון חם, אע״פ שהתחתון יותר חם ממנו, אין פעולתו של תחתון ניכרת בעליון ואינו מטמאו:
