Question

We have a meat microwave at home, and yesterday someone unknowingly placed a dairy soufflé (a cake eaten hot) in it. The microwave had not been used for meat for a day. Is there a way to permit it through hagalah, or must the microwave be discarded?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

It is permitted through hagalah.

You should wait 24 hours after heating the dairy, then place a full cup of water inside and heat it for a quarter of an hour.
