Meat Fork in Dairy Oven
Question
I placed a tray with eggplants and onions in a dairy oven that hadn't been used that day. By mistake, after some time, I mixed them with a meat fork (it might have been used that day). What is the status of the food, the oven, and the fork?
Answer
Everything is permitted for two reasons. A. A doubtful usage within the day is treated as if it wasn't used. B. Post facto, there is no absorption of taste in our ovens if there isn't a lot of sauce in the dish.
