kashering vs. Toveling

Asked by Tammi · August 27, 2003 · Kashrut

Question

You recently answered two people with questions about cooking foods in pots from non-jewish and non-religous jews. You said to try and kasher them. Does that mean you can eat from them without being toveled? How many times? Is this Lechatchila? Thanks, Tammi

If you buy those pots, you need to Tovel (dip them) them. If the non-Jew still owns them, you only need to Kasher them. AA
