Question:
1) I had a cheesecake in the fridge that my little girls kept on moving around and looking at over Shavous. Some crumbs scattered throughout the fridge, which I tried cleaning up as soon as it happened, but might have missed some. Also, they did this several times. Later I put my cholent pot into the bottom of the fridge when it was just warm and no longer hot. Sunday night (more than 24 hours later) I found a couple of little crumbs (which might have been shnitzel) on top of the cholent pot, which was a bit wet from condensation. Do I have to be concerned that the wet crumbs infused some taste onto my cholent pot? Also, I’m a little concerned that the crumbs touched it when the pot was still warmish (but I was able to touch the pot without wanting to take my hand away).
Answer:
Hello,
The crumbs should have been cleaned off before using the pot or heating it up. However, in retrospect, the crumbs were only a minute amount in comparison to the pot and would be botil.
Best wishes
