Question:
A dirty dairy frying pan with liquid in it was placed in a meat dink and sat there for a few hours. I don’t know if it was hot when placed there.
Answer:
Just wash off the frying pan with soap in water that isn’t hot. The fact that the pan sat in the sink for a few hours is not long enough for it to absorb meaty taste, and we are not going to be worried maybe it was hot if you don’t know. There is a rule, called “ashzukei isura lo machzekinan”, we are not going to assume there is a problem usless we have reason to assume so.
