Dishwasher

Asked by George W. Bush · March 1, 2004 · Kashrut

Question

Dear Rabbi, If dirty meat and dairy pots were washed together in a dishwasher -RINSE CYCLE ONLY, NO DETERGENT - does the water in the dishwasher have the status of keli rishon, Iruy keli rishon, or Kli Sheni? On a related note: is there any such thing as "keli shelishi", or is this a bubba mayseh?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

1) Try not to drink dishwasher water. 2) Keli Shelishi is not relevant, since we hold Keli Sheni does not cook. AA
