Question
A meat microwave in which a cheese pie was heated. What is the status of the pie and the microwave?
Answer
If the food produced steam, both the microwave and the pie become forbidden. If it did not produce steam, they are permitted. And if one sees that the food reached the temperature of *yad soledet bo* (a temperature at which the hand recoils), one should assume that it produced steam, and it is forbidden. The microwave can be kashered by hagalah after twenty‑four hours have passed from the heating: first it is cleaned, and then a bowl of water is heated in it for fifteen minutes.
