1) When using one stovetop for both food classes (which is OK, M'Ikar Hadin as we learned yesterday), the following guidelines must be followed:
· The entire surface of the stovetop must be treated as anon kosher utensil and no food may be placed directly onto this surface.
· If any food fell onto this surface while cooking or frying, it becomes prohibited to eat.
· When cleaning any part of the stovetop it may not be done together with or on top of any other kosher utensils, and separate cleaning gear are required to clean any part of the stovetop.
· No
utensils (e.g. a stirring spoon) that aren't totally dry on the bottom
may be placed on a stovetop that is used for both food classes. (See Rama Yoreh Deah Siman 92:8
and Chochmas Adam 45:19. See also Shu"t Sh'eilas Ya'avetz Vol. 1 Siman
113)
2)
It is a good idea to have a receptacle on the stovetop on which to rest
any utensils being used in the cooking process, to avoid placing them
directly on the stove.
If a wet utensil was placed there by mistake, it may require Koshering and a Rav should be consulted. (See Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos Vol. 2 Siman 387)
Care
must be taken at all times to keep this shared stovetop clean,
especially after using it for frying food, where it is usual for
splashing to happen all over the stovetop. (See Kaf HaChaim Yoreh Deah Siman 97:29. See also Taz Yoreh Deah 97:4)
