Question
A Jewish woman who does not observe the commandments cooked food; does this involve a problem of bishul akum? And if so, must the utensils in which she cooked be kashered?
Answer
If she desecrates Shabbat even in the presence of an important rabbi, the utensils must be kashered by hag'alah. If not, the utensils do not need hag'alah. The same applies to the food.
