    KASHRUS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WITH RABBI MOSHE ELEFANT

    What if you
    find a dairy
    utensil (ex.
    a spoon)
    in the meat drawer or
    vice versa?
    Depending on how you
    wash dishes and run your
    kitchen, there can be a
    variety of scenarios where it
    is not a problem. Therefore,
    unless one knows it was
    washed together with meat,
    with hot water, in a way that
    would create a problem,
    one has a right to assume
    that nothing happened and
    you can place it back in the

    proper drawer. If you are
    not sure, you should check
    with your local Rabbi.

    Making parve in a meat
    oven: Can you have
    something that’s parve, but
    made in a meat oven with
    something dairy i.e. dessert
    and coffee. If you want to
    serve the food with dairy,

    it should be kashered first.
    But, in this case many are
    lenient not to wait 24 hours.

    What is the status of a
    dairy toaster that might
    (safek) have accidentally
    had meat in it?
    Depends on what is meant
    by might. If it is unlikely but
    possible, one should clean it

    and wait 24 hours. There is
    no need to do anything else.
    If it probably did, then it will
    need kashering. Depending
    on how it was used would
    determine how to kasher it
    – ask a Rabbi.
