Question
I cooked Shemitah vegetable soup in a pot, and afterward, I cooked potatoes that are not sanctified with Shemitah sanctity. Do I need to treat the potatoes with Shemitah sanctity?
Answer
A pot in which Shemitah fruits were cooked, and within 4 hours a dish without Shemitah sanctity was cooked in it, raises a doubt whether the dish has Shemitah sanctity due to the absorbed taste. However, if one tastes the dish and does not sense the taste of the fruit with Shemitah sanctity, there is no need to treat it with Shemitah sanctity.
