Question
What is the status of a meat microwave that was used to heat a cheese pie?
Answer
If the pie emitted steam, both the microwave and the pie are forbidden. If no steam was emitted, it is permitted. If the pie reached a temperature where the hand recoils, it should be assumed that steam was emitted, and both the pie and the microwave are forbidden. In this case, after the fact, the microwave can be koshered after 24 hours by thoroughly cleaning it and placing a bowl of water inside, heating the microwave at maximum temperature for fifteen minutes.
