Question
I baked dairy cookies in a meat toaster oven (the last cooking in it was more than 24 hours ago). In the oven, there were also a tray and a rack on which the cookies were placed (directly on the tray and in an aluminum pan on the rack). I want to return the oven to its meat status after more than 24 hours have passed. It is possible that during the baking of the dairy cookies, there were also crumbs/drops of meat fat/oil. Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
The cookies are permissible to eat because the oven was not used for meat within the last 24 hours. [The drops and crumbs do not constitute one-sixtieth of the cookies, and therefore they do not change the halacha].
The oven, tray, and rack should be koshered by waiting 24 hours after baking the cookies, and then running the oven with the rack and tray inside for one hour at the highest temperature.
