Question

An onion was cut with a dairy knife and the onion was then cooked in a meat pot that was not ben yomo (had not been used in the last twenty‑four hours). What is the status of the pot and what is the status of the onion?

Answer

If the knife came into contact with boiling milk that was in a kli rishon, it becomes dairy, and then the onion is dairy and everything is forbidden, both the onion and the pot. However, in practice a knife usually does not become fully dairy merely through contact with a kli rishon.
