1) My son's babysitter used one of our parev knives to cut up carrots she had cooked in her home. She is not jewish. My understanding is that they were boiled in water to soften them.
Additionally, another knife (or two) was mixed up with the one she used, so I have two (or three) knives set aside where she used one of them, I'm just not sure which one.
Does anything need to be done with the knives?
2) My second question is I have a plastic dairy bowl and metal dairy fork that were washed up in very hot water using the fleishig washing sponge. The sponge had been used for real meat, I don't recall how long it had been sitting unused before it was used on these keilim.
Thank you so much,
L.
A. As far as the first question, Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a is of the opinion that you it suffices to wash the knives in cold water and they are kosher. On the second shaaleh he instructed to wash the keilim in the same very hot water to kashers them.
