Nullification in Sixty (Meat and Milk)
Question
Hello Rabbi Michi,
Why do you need separate pots for dairy and meat? If I cook meat, say, and only after a long period of time—two weeks or more—I cook dairy in the same pot, then clearly whatever the pot absorbed will be nullified in sixty in the new dish. Is it because one should not do this ab initio, and if someone already did it, is the dish kosher?
Answer
You are conflating two different things: the passage of time and the amount absorbed. Each of them has its own parameters. You can find halakhic overviews online.
