Question
A dairy dish was placed in a meat microwave for a quarter of a minute. What is the ruling?
Answer
If the food reached the temperature of "yad soledet" and the microwave was used for meat within the last 24 hours, both the food and the microwave are forbidden. If the microwave was not used for meat within the last 24 hours, the food is permitted, but the microwave is forbidden.
If the food did not reach the temperature of "yad soledet", everything is permitted. If there is doubt, the food is permitted even if the microwave was used for meat within the last 24 hours, but the microwave is forbidden. The microwave can be koshered by boiling, placing a plate with water and turning the microwave on at maximum heat for a quarter of an hour.
