A Pareve Spoon in a Meat Pot

Question

A pareve spoon was used to stir hot food in a meat pot (a meat utensil), which did not contain meat, and the pot had apparently been used for meat within the past 24 hours. The spoon was washed immediately. Did the spoon become meat, or did it remain pareve?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

The spoon remains pareve.

A secondary imparting of taste in a permitted context. 

In addition, whenever there is uncertainty whether a utensil was used within the past 24 hours, its status is that of a utensil not used within the past 24 hours.
