Question
A serving spoon with a wooden handle that is pareve was used to flip fries fried in a dairy pan (it's not known if it was clean, and even if it was, not as clean as a pot for sure). It has already been 24 hours since it was used. An additional question about a pareve knife with a plastic handle that was used to cut hot pizza. What is its status? It has already been 24 hours since it was used.
Answer
Hello,
A. The spoon remains pareve.
B. The knife has become dairy. To make it pareve again, it needs to be immersed in boiling water.
It should be cleaned thoroughly, and you should wait 24 hours from the time of the dairy absorption, and then it can be immersed in boiling water, in a pot or kettle.
Wait until the water boils and bubbles, and then immerse the knife, and afterwards, place it in cold water.
