Deep fryer used for fleishigs, that was used for French fries, am I fleishigs or milichigs?

Question:

If I have a deep fryer that I use for fleishigs and I made French fries now after not using the deep fryer for a week, am I fleishigs or milichigs?

Answer:

I am not clear what the case is so I will include various cases. If the oil that was used for deep frying the fleishig was used for the French fries then you are fleishigs. However if the fryer was clean and not used for the week, (even if it wa a little greasy), you may eat milchigs after it, but not together with it.

  1. Why are you not allowed to eat with milchigs if it was an aino ben yomo and not done lchatchila in order to eat with molchigs?

    1. The assumption was that there was greasy fleishig residue in the deep fryer.
