Question
I am planning to travel to a non-Jew's guesthouse during the interim days. He has an induction cooktop. The question is whether there is any concern about using it due to previous cooking, and can I cook both meat and dairy on it, of course separately? And should I be concerned if water spills from the pot during cooking regarding the kosher status of the pot and the food?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
It is permitted to use non-kosher cooktops, provided they are dry and clean.
The same rule applies to meat and dairy one after the other, if the cooktops are dry and clean.
Even if water spills during cooking, the pot and food are not prohibited unless the absorption of non-kosher was within the last 24 hours.
Similarly, regarding the spillage of water from cooking meat or milk, if there was no spillage from the other type within 24 hours, there is no reason for prohibition.
