Question

A yeshiva student has a meat microwave and wants to turn it into a dairy one. Is this permitted?

Answer

This is not lechatchila (not preferable) for two reasons: (1) we do not transfer a utensil from meat to dairy unless in a pressing situation; (2) it is not clear that hagala (kashering) by means of steam is effective.
