Question
An apartment was purchased from a secular person. How should one treat the kitchen countertop?
Answer
It is permitted to use the countertop as it is, but in the sink it is forbidden to use utensils with food that is very hot (at a “yad soledet bo” temperature) if the sink is made of earthenware/ceramic, for which kashering by boiling (hagala) is not effective.
