Question:
Someone took a milchig knife and sliced a lemon on a fleishig plate. The plate may have possibly been used for hot fleishig within 24 hours. What is the status of the utensils now?
Answer:
Hello,
We should l’chatchila be careful not to cut sharp things with a milchig knife on a fleishig plate, however in retrospect, if it was already done, we will not say that the plate gave taste to the knife.
Best wishes
