Question
I follow the custom not to eat gebrokts (matzah that has been soaked) on Pesach. May I use a frying pan in which gebrokts dishes were previously fried during Pesach, without kashering the pan beforehand?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
It depends on the custom. There are those who have the custom not to use such utensils without first doing hagala (boiling them to kosher them), and there are those who did not adopt stringency regarding absorbed taste.
According to the strict letter of the law, for those who are stringent in this matter: if the pan is ben yomo (it was used for gebrokts within the last 24 hours) — it may not be used. If it is not ben yomo (it has not been used in the last 24 hours) — it is permitted.
