20) INSERTING A MILK SPOON INTO A MEAT POT (Continued)

If one inserted a SHE’EINO BAT YOMO[1] milk spoon into a meat pot that had meat cooking in it, the meat will remain unaffected by the spoon, because the TAAM (taste) of milk in the spoon is PAGUM (ineffective). This would be true even if there is not 60 times more meat than the volume of the spoon.

However the milk spoon itself would require HAGALAH (kashering by boiling), because it now absorbed a TAAM (taste) of meat[2]. 

[Daf 32, Seif 7,8]

---

[1] A spoon that was last used more than 24 hours ago.

[2] Until the milk spoon is kashered, we would not be allowed to use it further for either;

1)       milk, because is just absorbed a fresh taste of meat, or

2)       meat, because under Rabbinical law, we may not LECHATCHILAH (at the outset) use a milk implement (even if it was last used more than 24 hours ago) for meat.
