PM-“Electrical appliances that come in direct contact with the food must be toyveled. While Reb Shlomo Zalman said that something that only functions when plugged in may be considered mechbar l’karka and not require tevila, he did not rely on this Halacha l’Maase.”
Please explain. Did Reb Shlomo Zalman paskin or not? I know that many Rabbonim today rely on this s’vara to paskin that electric appliances do not need t’vila. Years back my Rabbeim said that when it’s one piece, i.e. coofee urn, to toivel and let dry out.
