Question
A microwave that was used for dairy, and now is no longer used for dairy and they want to convert it to meat, can it be koshered and used for meat?
Answer
This appliance cannot be koshered, and only in a situation where it has become non-kosher do we allow leniency to kosher it. Even using it with two coverings should not be permitted initially, as leniency is only allowed in rare cases where no other option is available. However, in this case, where one wants to use it initially in their home, one should be stringent. Nevertheless, Sephardim may be lenient in this matter.
