Question
Do serving dishes sent with food in Mishloach Manot require immersion?
Answer
These dishes require immersion. However, the immersion is only effective if the sender uses them initially, as then the dishes are considered his, and the immersion will also benefit the recipient. If he immerses them without using them, the immersion is ineffective because he does not intend to keep them. Even if wrapped products are sent, it does not help, as the wrapping is considered secondary to the food, as if the food is placed without wrapping.
