Question
Our microwave is pareve (we don’t heat meat or dairy foods in it so that it remains pareve). By mistake my sister heated a plate with meat (a meat dish) in it. What is the halachic status now – is the microwave considered meat, and what needs to be done?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
The microwave has become meat.
In order to return it to being pareve, it should be kashered by placing a cup of water in the microwave and running it for about 20 minutes, so that the rising steam will kasher it.
