Question 5

Can the flavor absorbed in the walls of a pot be nullified?

IE - if you cook a dairy soup in a meat pot, לכתילה can the meat taste be nullified?

Answer 5

Technically yes, practically no.

Technically yes – absorbed flavors can be nullified by sixty, ביטול בשישים. So if the volume of the dairy soup is more than 60 times the volume of the pot, you can eat the dairy soup.

Practially no – Mathmatically, such a pot would crumble under the weight of the soup it was holding. Only tin cans seem to have walls thin enough to be nullified. And really, if you’re cooking out of a tin can, kashrut isn’t such a big concern.

Question 6

Answer 6

C, F, I, L - The ladle is always prohibited, since it has absorbed meat and milk (even ta’am pagum milk)

The pot and the food always have the same status.

D&E - Permitted, since the ladle is ta’am pagum

G&H - Prohibited

J&K - Permitted, since the ladle is ta’am pagum

Question 7

What part of the ladle emits flavor into the food? Who held by which letter?

Answer 7

There is a difference of opinion. Go back and edit this card to know who said what.

Shulcan Aruch - jsut the part that was inserted. But if the spoon is metal, then all of it since heating a little part of metal heats the whole thing.

Question 11

A piece of meat falls into a pot of cooking milk. If the volume of the milk is 60 times greater than the volume of the piece of meat, What is the status of the milk, meat, and pot?

Does it matter if the meat is cold?

Answer 11

The milk and pot are permitted since the volume of the emitted meat flavor is nullified.

The meat is prohibited since is too small to nullify the absorbed dairy taste.

It does not matter if the meat is cold.

Question 12

A piece of meat falls into a pot of cooking milk. The volume of the milk is not 60 times greater than the meat. What is the status of the milk, pot, and meat?

Does it matter if the piece of meat is hot or cold?

Answer 12

The milk and pot are prohibited because they have absorbed meat flavor and are not large enough to nullify that flavor.

The meat is always probhibited because it has absorbed dairy flavor.

If the meat is still cold, then have a non Jew taste the pot to see if flavor was imparted. If the non Jew says that no flavor was imparted, then the pot & the milk are mutar. If the non Jew says the meat imparted taste, or if the meat boils, then the pot and milk is assur.

Question 13

A. If both the meat and the cheese are completely dry

B. If one of them is even partially damp

C. If one of them contains fat which adheres

Question 15

There are two friends, one is eating milk and one is eating meat. They want to sit and eat at the same table. What three ways can they do that?

Answer 15

1) The sit far enough apart so they can’t touch eachother’s plate
2) They place something between them that is not usually there (ie, flowers, etc) so they remember not to take from eachother’s plate. We can even use bread, but we have to be careful not to eat from the loaf of bread.

Answer 17

Yes, but we have to make the dough into a special shape before baking.

Question 18

Can we use one table cloth for both meat and milk meals? If so, under what conditions?

Answer 18

It is a bad idea. Preferably, we’d have two tablecloths. In times of need,

2) If the cloth is exceptionally long, and one ate a dairy meal on one side, the other side may be used for a meat meal.
