Meat & Milk

[ChiefExecutive]

Is it better to use a cold milchig spoon that fell into a cold fleishig pot but a ben yomo, or a hot milchig spoon in a hot fleishig pot not a ben yomo?

[Cranberry]

Is there anything in the pot?

[ChiefExecutive]

Of course the spoon.

[Cranberry]

Of course the spoon.

A wise person once said that it's better to use a fork.

[Cranberry]

Is there food in the pot? And if so, is the food pareve?

[gamanit]

For arguments sake let's say it's plain pasta the pot

[virtuosointraining]

Of course the spoon.

A wise person once said that it's better to use a fork.

Other wise people say to use a spoon for soup and a fork for meat.

As long as you use a fork for cereal, which is milchig.

[shpritz]

I think that a milchig/fleishig item that was affected by heat of the opposite needs to be koshered while a cold item does not.

[ChiefExecutive]

But does that still apply when the utensil is not a ben yomo?

[Cranberry]

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure option 1 is less of an issue, though you are probably never in a situation where you are actually going to choose between the two.

In that case, I think it's pretty clear cut that option 1 is better.
