Question
One is staying in a non-Jewish hotel and there are glass utensils there; may one 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 as a second vessel (keli sheni). And according to Sephardic custom, it is permitted to use them as a second vessel, and even as a first vessel (keli rishon) one who is lenient has opinions on which to rely.
