A Drop That Splashed onto a Teflon Frying Pan

Question

Boiling meat liquid, a little more than a drop, splashed directly from a pot onto a dairy Teflon frying pan that had not been used within the past 24 hours. It is not clear whether the liquid cooled before it touched the pan. Does the pan need to undergo hag'alah, and is hag'alah effective for a Teflon frying pan?

Answer

Shalom u’vrachah 

A single drop cools off when it splashes, and does not render the utensil forbidden. 

If a Teflon frying pan becomes forbidden, hag'alah is not effective for it.
