Can a dairy equipment product be heated up in my pareve oven lechatchilah without effecting the pareve Status of the oven?
Thank you.
Answer:
Yes, this is fine.
A "dairy equipment" product is not dairy, though it should not be eaten with meat according to Ashkenaz custom.
Because it is not dairy, there is no problem in heating it a pareve oven; if it isn't dairy itself it certainly cannot make something else dairy, and there is no custom concerning this situation.
Best wishes.
