Question
A Jewish woman who does not observe the mitzvot cooked food. Is there an issue here of bishul akum? And if so, must the utensils she cooked with be kashered?
Answer
If she desecrates Shabbat even in the presence of an important rabbi, the utensils must be kashered by hagalah. If not, there is no need to kasher the utensils. The same applies to the food.
