Plates

Question

You have mentioned that glazed china plates do not absorb. But what halakhic significance does this have, since after all, plates are a keli sheni and whether they are glazed or not we say that they don't absorb.

Good point. But that is that you don't Kasher it, but what if I make it a Keli Rishon once in a while, by putting it in the microwave for twenty minutes to cook meat, now if I want to use it for cooking cheese, I must wait the 24hours, unless you tell me, hey, it's glazed & is not Boleyah (absorb) and therefore just clean it & cook your cheese.
