Question
Apologies for the disturbance, I was informed that if there is a cover on the tripod, the Rema was not strict about using the tripod without libun. [Due to transitions from pot to pot without sauce] Is there a source for this? This is very important to me regarding induction. Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom Rav
The Mishnah Berurah writes:
However, if one places pots with food, even if both are hot, it is not forbidden post facto, as the forbidden absorbed matter does not transfer from the oven wall to the pot wall. Initially, it is also forbidden to place pots in any case (unless both are cold), and when placing an interrupting object like iron or similar underneath, or coating with clay the thickness of a finger, it is permitted to use everything on top.
In other words, one should not place a pot on a utensil absorbed with chametz, but if there is an iron cover on it, it is permitted .
