Question

Meat and dairy utensils are in one sink, and the usual practice is to wash them with cold water. However, now in the summer, the water in the pipes is boiling, and it is impossible to turn on the tap until cold water comes because the boiling water will pour over the utensils. What should be done?

Answer

If the water is hot enough that you can immerse your hand in it for a minute without removing it, you can wash with it.
