Question
Is a utensil that is not used for eating and therefore not immersed required to be immersed if used once with food?
Answer
Hello,
A utensil that is not intended for use with food and is used only once does not require immersion.
For example, placing food in a vase intended for flowers or cutting food with a knife intended for tools.
