Question
Good afternoon Rabbi! I would like to know if I can use a hand blender that I used for meat a while ago (not within 24 hours) in a dairy pot. The dish is parve. And is the soup considered meaty?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
If the dairy pot has been used within the last 24 hours, the dish is considered dairy, and it is not preferable to use a meat blender to puree it.
If the dairy pot has not been used within the last 24 hours, the dish is not considered dairy. However, it is not preferable to use a meat utensil in a dairy pot. Therefore, you should first transfer the dish to a meat or parve pot and puree it there.
But if there is no other pot available, it is permissible to puree the dish in the dairy pot.
