Question
When I fill a dairy mug with boiling water from the hot‑water urn, can the steam rising from the mug turn the urn into dairy?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha,
Steam rising from a dairy utensil does not make the item (the urn) dairy.
Only in a case where a pot in which milk was heated is emitting steam, and one pours boiling water from the urn onto that pot, is there room to say that hot steam can rise from the pot back into the urn and render it dairy.
