הכובש. ירקות או זיתים בחומץ או ביין, וכן השולק או המולח, אף בשדה חייב. שהאור והמלח והמקח והתרומה והשבת והחצר המשתמרת, כ״א מאלו קובע למעשר:
המכמן באדמה. המטמין פירות תחת הקרקע כדרך שרגילין להטמין פירות שאין מבושלים כל צרכן כדי שיתבשלו:
והמטבל. פירות במלח או בציר או בחומץ ואוכל, פטור, ואינו קובע למעשר כמו הכובש או המולח, אלא אוכל מהן אכילת עראי ופטור מן המעשר:
הפוצע זיתים. ממעך וכותש אותם כדי שיצא השרף, דהיינו המרירות שלהן:
הסוחט זיתים על בשרו. לסוך גופו:
לתוך ידו חייב. דמה שנתן לתוך ידו נחשב כאילו נתן לתוך בור קטן דהיינו החפירה שהיין והשמן יורדים בה:
המקפה לתבשיל. השולה פסולת שמעלה היין בעת רתיחתו נקרא מקפה, ואם אחר שנתן יין בתבשיל הסיר מעליו החרצנים והזגים הצפין למעלה, קפוי עראי הוא זה ואינו קובע למעשר כשאר מקפה יין בעלמא. ובתבשיל צונן איירי, דאי בתבשיל רותח הא אמרינן שהאור קובעת למעשר, ובלא הקפאה היה נקבע למעשר מחמת האור:
לקדרה. רקנית, קודם שנתן לתוכה התבשיל נתן בתוכה יין והקפהו הוה ליה כמקפה בבור קטן וחייב:

Mishnayos Maasros Perek 4 Mishnah 2
מעשרות פרק ד׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
תינוקות שטמנו תאנים – in the field, for if it were in the house, not on Shabbat, the house would establish it [for liability] for tithing. And it (i.e., the Mishnah) took [the word] “children/תינוקות “ to inform us that they have a recognized thought-pattern through their actions.
לא יאכלו למוצ"ש – for since the Sabbath established them for [liability for] tithing, it is forbidden forever until they tithe.
כלכלת שבת – a basket filled with chosen fruits designated for use on Shabbat.
וב"ה מחייבין – [to be liable for] tithing immediately, even prior to the sabbath, for since they were designated for the Sabbath, they were established [as liable for tithing] immediately.
לשלוח לחבירו – it was made iiable for setting aside of tithes immediately, and he may not eat an incidental meal until he tithes, and even if they had not been sent, because since he designated it to be sent, he is stringent upon it like with a basket designated for the Sabbath, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
תינוקות שטמנו תאנים. בשדה, דאי בבית, בלא שבת בית קובעת. ונקט תינוקות, לאשמועינן דיש להם מחשבה הניכרת מתוך מעשיהם:
לא יאכלו למוצ״ש. דכיון שקבעתן שבת למעשר אסורים לעולם עד שיתעשרו:
כלכלת שבת. כלכלה מלאה פירות שיחדה לשבת:
וב״ה מחייבין. במעשר מיד אפילו קודם השבת, דכיון שיחדה לשבת הוקבעה מיד:
לשלוח לחבירו. נטבל מיד ולא יאכל עראי עד שיעשר. ואפי׳ לא שלחה, לפי שכיון שיחדה לשלחה הוא מקפיד עליה כמו בכלכלת שבת. ואין הלכה כר״י:

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.

הכובש (press/pickle) – vegetables or olives with vinegar or with wine, and similarly who boils or salts, even in the field he is obligated [to tithe]. For the flame and the salt and the business transaction and the heave-offering and the Sabbath and the courtyard guard it, each one of these establishes [the liability] for tithing.
המכמן באדמה (hide fruits in the ground) – he who stores away produce under the ground in the manner that they customarily hide fruit that are not ripened all their need in order that they can [fully] ripen.
והמטבל (and one who seasons) – produce with salt or with brine or with vinegar and consumes it is exempt [from giving tithes], and it does not establish it [as liable] for tithing like one who pickles or salts, but rather, he eats from them an incidental meal/snack and is exempt from tithing.
הפוצע זיתים – crushes and pounds hem in order that their vegetable sap/resin should depart, which is their bitterness.
הסוחט זיתים על בשרו – to rub his body.
לתוך ידו חייב – for what he put into his hand is considered as if he put it into a small pit, which is that pit that the wine and the oil descend into.
המקפה לתבשיל (he skims [a ladle of wine for use] in a stew) – he draws refuse that the wine brings up at the time of its boiling is called pulp, and if after he placed the wine in the cooked dish , he removed from it the exterior husks and the interior pomace that float above, this is the incidental froth and does not establish [liability for] tithing like the rest of the froth of wine in general, and we are speaking regarding a cold cooked dish, for itf it was a boiling cooked dish, we would say that the flame established [the liability for tithing, and without the froth, it would be established [liable for] tithing , on account of he flame.
לקדרה – an empty [pot], before that he put into it the cooked dish, he placed in it the wine and skimmed it, it wold be like he is skimming in a small pit and he is liable [for tithing].
