Question:
Hi Rabbi,
Someone by mistake used a meat spoon that had rice on it and put it into a dairy pot with pasta and cheese. The spoon had rice from the rice cooker on it – I don’t think I ever put meat/chicken in the rice cooker. The spoon didn’t touch the pot itself but the pasta which was still warm/hot… How can I rekasher the spoon? I’m Sephardic if that makes a difference. Thank you!
Answer:
Hello,
You can rekasher the spoon by washing it off well, waiting 24 hours after the spoon was placed into the cheese. Heat up a pot of water, and when it is boiling, place the spoon inside it for a few seconds. Then wash off the spoon and it is kashered.
Best wishes
