Question

I am at work, and there is a pot that may have been used a few months ago to cook non-kosher food or meat and milk. Is it permissible to cook schnitzels in it?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

It is forbidden to use a non-kosher utensil, even if a long time has passed since it was used for a prohibited purpose. 

If it is an uncoated metal utensil, it can be koshered by immersing it in a larger pot of boiling water. 

However, if it has a coating such as Teflon, ceramic, etc., it cannot be koshered.
