Question
Does glassware absorb the taste of prohibition?
Answer
There is a disagreement: according to the Mechaber, glass does not absorb. According to the Rema, it absorbs but does not release immediately, rather gradually. Therefore, it cannot be purged from the absorbed prohibition, and hot food that touches it becomes prohibited.
