Question

Is it possible to change a microwave from meat to dairy?

Answer

It should not be done initially. For two reasons:

A. One should not initially change the use of a utensil from one type to another because this can easily lead to mistakes, where one might not remember the last use.

B. The method of koshering a microwave with a vessel of water is not ideal, as it is not a complete koshering.
