Question
While staying in a non-Jewish hotel where there are glass utensils, is it permissible to prepare couscous in them?
Answer
According to Ashkenazi custom, one may use the utensils there only for cold food, but it is forbidden to use them for hot food, even if it is a second vessel (keli sheni). According to Sephardi custom, it is permitted to use a second vessel, and even with regard to a first vessel (keli rishon), those who are lenient have authorities on whom to rely.
