Question
A meat microwave, dirty with meat, has not been used for a day, and dairy was heated in it uncovered. What is the ruling?
Answer
If it did not reach the temperature of 'yad soledet bo' [40 degrees Celsius], everything is fine. If it did reach that temperature, the food is permitted because there is likely a sixtyfold against the meat residues, and the microwave requires kashering: wait 24 hours, clean thoroughly, and heat a plate of water for a quarter of an hour.
