Question
Hello. In zimmers and similar places, is it permissible to kosher the countertop by pouring when it hasn't been used for a day, or, for example, to wipe a knife that hasn't been used for a day with a scotch pad to kosher it, since most of its use is not in a primary vessel? Based on the words of Olat Tzion that for other prohibitions besides Passover, we follow the primary use even according to the Rema, and his source from the Pri Megadim in the laws of Passover (TMZ, section 10).
Answer
Hello
According to the instructions of our teacher, Rabbi shlita, regarding koshering countertops in vacation places:
It is important to ensure that the countertop is clean, and then it is permissible to place hot pots and the like on it. However, hot food without a vessel should not be placed on it, even after cleaning.
