A meaty knife in a parve pot
Question
I have a question. I have a parve pot in which I melted some sugar, cocoa, etc., and then, by mistake, I took a meaty knife that hadn’t been used for the last 24 hours, and stirred the brew with it. Does that make the pot meaty? If it does, is there a way to make it parve again? Thank you very much
Answer
Since the knife hasn’t been used for the last 24 hours, the pot remains parve.
