Question

Hello Rabbi, I am staying at a hotel abroad, and there is an electric kettle in my room. Is it permissible for me to use it, or should I be concerned that it might have been used to pour over non-kosher food?

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

It is permissible to use the kettle, because even if it was used to pour over non-kosher food, the kettle is not prohibited retroactively.
