1] Our Nanny heated a ceramic dairy dish with fish on it in a meat microwave and used meat utensils to eat it. What is the status of the dairy dish and meat utensils/how do we /must we kasher anything? Note: the dairy dish was not used the past 24 hours but the meat microwave was….
2] Put Mac-and Cheese from pot onto plastic plate. I don’t believe that would treif it up. Can you confirm (or deny)?
Answer:
1) If the microwave plate on which the dish was placed was clean of meaty residue, and the fish was fairly dry (not a “soupy” dish), there is no need to kasher the ceramic dish (which can’t be kashered anyway).
Concerning the utensils, the question is whether or not the custom mentioned by the Rema (94:5) will apply. Because there is room to distinguish the case from the Rema (microwave cooking possibly not full-fledged cooking; the food was already cooked and was only re-heated), and because some dispute the stringency mentioned in the Rema, there will be no need for stringency.
2) Not sure I understood the question. The pot and the plate are of course dairy due to the cheese (if hot). What is to become treif?
