Question
An onion was cut with a pareve knife on a meat plate that hasn't been used for a day. Did the knife and the onion become meaty?
Answer
For a sharp item, one must be stringent even if it hasn't been used for a day (according to Ashkenazi custom, this is by law, and according to Sephardi custom, this is when there is no significant loss). However, since the plate is usually not a primary vessel, it does not render the onion and knife meaty. However, if it is known that it was used in a primary vessel, such as heating food in a microwave, or if it was placed in a meaty primary vessel, then it becomes meaty from the primary vessel, and the onion is forbidden to eat, and the knife requires koshering.
