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.

 

Answer:

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 is a problem for the Keurig machine.

If though there was no hot steam coming out of the Cholent, then this poses no problem for the Keurig machine. Regarding the plastic bottle one should consider it Fleishig.
