Question
Small pieces of chicken were found in the electric kettle at home. How should one proceed with the kettle?
Answer
If there was sixty times more water in the kettle than the size of the chicken, everything is permitted. If, when it was boiling, they started pouring out and then there wasn't sixty, then they should wait 24 hours without using the kettle [so it is not 'ben yomo'] and boil the kettle to the top and pour out the water. After that, it can be used even for preparing water for coffee and the like, if there is no other kettle.
