Question
A meat pot in which meat is cooking and hot steam rises onto a pareve pot standing next to it on the stove at a distance of 3 cm. He placed his finger there and claims it is indeed very hot. Has the pot become meat due to the steam, and does it need to be kashered to continue using it as pareve?
Answer
If, as he claims, it was indeed hot, it needs to be kashered.
