Cold Milk Splashed onto a Hot Pot

Shalom u’vrachah 

If the milk spilled onto a boiling hot meat pot: 

A. If there is meat in the pot, and the spill is opposite the full part of the pot — if there is sixty times the amount of the spilled milk in the food, the food is permitted, and the pot is prohibited. 

B. In the above case, if it spilled opposite the empty part of the pot, and the pot is covered, the law is as if it spilled opposite the gravy/liquid, and it is sufficient for there to be sixty times the amount of the milk in the food. 

C. If it spilled opposite the empty part of the pot, and the pot is uncovered, there must be 3,600 times the amount of the milk in the food (60×60). 

D. If there is no meat in the pot, but rather pareve food, then if meat was cooked in the pot within the last twenty-four hours, the food in the pot becomes prohibited, and the pot also becomes prohibited. 

E. In the above case, if the pot is not ben yomo from the last time meat was cooked in it, the food is permitted and the pot is prohibited.
