Meat and Milk Archives

I have a Pareve bowl, and I mixed something that was hot and Pareve in it, but mixed it with a (clean) Milchig spoon, which I doubt has been used in the past 24 hours. (Almost sure it wasnt used in 24 hours) Is my bowl now Milchig? If yes, how do I kasher it?

The bowl is still Pareve. Sources: מה שחידש הש"ך בסי' צ"ד ס"ק ט"ו לענין קביעת תשמיש הוא כשהכף הוא בן יומו. וחומרא הוא והבו דלא לוסיף עלה. …

Can a Fleishig knife that was used to cut cheese be Kashered? The knife had not been used for meat 24 hours prior, the knife and cheese were both cold. If so, can it be Kashered in boiling water? Please advise.

If both were cold, the knife does not need to be Kashered - just washed (NOT in hot water). #4297

Can Parve bread baked in a Fleishig oven, specifically in Fleishig Keilim, be served with a Milchig meal?

I normally have a separate oven that we uses for all dairy. Unfortunately it has broken and can’t be fixed before Shavuos. I was wondering if I could use the oven that I normally use strictly for Fleishigs and use it to make dairy at this time (covered if necessary)?

The Alter Rebbe states that those who are accustomed to bake dairy products for Shavuos must be careful when koshering their meat ovens (in which meaty juices and the…

If someone takes a plastic gallon of water and pours water into a cooking Cholent does the water bottle become Fleishig? If they took the same water and poured it into the Keurig machine while cold is there any problem? The water being poured was always cold.

If there was hot steam coming out of the Cholent when the water was poured (and still hot when reaching the bottle) then the bottle is Fleishig and this…

Milchig was cooked on a Fleish pan (which the pan was not used for about two weeks). A plastic Milchig spatula was used to stir the cooking food and then the contents were put hot on Milchig plates. Metal Milchig utensils were used to eat (which the Milchige utensils were last used two days prior). Meat was not noticed until after eating. Can I kosher the Fleishig pan, and how. The Milchig spatula, plate and utensils?

The Fleishig pan needs to be Kashered. Turn the pan upside down on the fire and allow the heat to penetrate for several minutes. The Milchig utensils are all…

If I use a Fleishig mixing bowl and utensils to mix a batter and then bake it in a Pareve oven, can I have that food together with Milchig food, for example the bread with butter?

Yes.

We fried onions in a meat pot which had not been used for more that 24 hours. We then prepared a Parve soup. Do we need to wait after eating the soup before eating milk foods?

Although the soup is considered Fleishig, you may have Milchig afterwards. See here.

Bread was baked in a Fleishig oven. (In other words, meat had been roasted uncovered in the oven within 24 hours previously.) Someone, ignoring the warning sign on the bread package, cut off a slice of that bread and toasted it in a Milchig toaster oven to eat with cinnamon and sugar topping. The toaster oven probably was not used within 24 hours. Is there a Kashrus problem with the toaster oven? Is there a problem with the Milchig plate the hot toast was put onto? And what is the status of the Parve knife used to spread the margarine on the bread?

The toaster oven, the plate and the knife are all fine. Sources: רמ״א יו״ד צה, ב.

I have a typical metal salad bowl that I rarely but occasionally use with dairy, but always wash it with the dairy dishes, and it was accidentally put in the Fleishig dishwasher with the dirty dishes from Shabbos. What is it’s current status?

The bowl should be Kashered. The dishwasher and all the other dishes are fine.
