Question
I live in Germany and left unpackaged meat on the counter while I was not at home, and the cleaner was home alone (she knew I wasn't supposed to return for several hours). Later, I cooked the meat. What is the status of the meat, and do I need to kosher the pot?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If there were no identifying marks on the meat, and no 'recognition by sight' [- identifying the meat by its shape], the meat is forbidden.
In such a case, the pot is also forbidden and requires koshering.
