Reply To: Questions on Yoreh Deah, Choshen Mishpat

goodjew: THAT is an excellent question.

Assuming we hold like shach in 118:36

You may cook meat or milk next to pareve. Even if it were to splash, it would not create even potential issur.

If you did it and it splashed:

If it fell on the outside opposite the liquid, even if you would then cook milk in the pot, even within 24 hours, even if there is not 60 times the splatter in the milk, it would not be assur because we assume there is only a small amount of the meat in the walls of the pot. (taz 92:24)

If it fell above the water line and you then cooked milk in it, you would need 60 against the splash.

One could argue, if you always use the pot in a way that it will be batul in 60, you can use it after 24 hours even for milk and certainly for pareve to eat with milk.(99:7 see taz 15). However, I think it will be kovea tashmisho as meat (see shach 94:15). If you sometimes use the pot in a way that is not batul in 60, you should definitely consider the pot meat.

However, if the other pot is a milchig pot, even if you are cooking pareve, you should not do so because it could create issur in your pot.

tzair: thank you, I meant to write the pot would become assur. I was dictating the post on the phone right before shabbos.

abba bar dad bar popa: I’m again sorry, despite my bold name for this thread, I only learned the subjects listed in my first post. In choshen mishpat, that is only eidus and dayanim.
