Question

A meat spoon that is ben yomo was inserted into pareve food in a dairy pot that is not ben yomo. How should one act?

Answer

According to the Shulchan Aruch, everything is permitted. According to the Rema, one should perform hagala (boiling kashering) on the utensil that is not ben yomo, which in this case is the frying pan, and even though the pan is Teflon, it may be kashered in this case. The spoon, which is ben yomo, is permitted, and the food, ideally, should not be eaten with dairy or meat, but only with pareve.
