Question:
You poured milk in to your hot oatmeal, then you were told that the oatmeal was cooked in the same pot that was used for last night’s dinner (spaghetti and meat balls), what is the din of the cereal?
Answer:
If the oatmeal was transferred into a different bowl than the meaty one [i.e. from the pot to a bowl] and the milk was poured there into the oatmeal, the oatmeal remains permitted.
