Question
I am staying in a hotel owned by non-Jews, and there are glass utensils. Is it permissible to prepare couscous in them?
Answer
According to Ashkenazi custom, it is permissible to use the utensils there only for cold food, but it is forbidden to use them for hot food even in a secondary vessel. According to Sephardic custom, it is permissible to use them in a secondary vessel, and even in a primary vessel, there is a basis for leniency for those who wish to rely on it.
