When I order fleshic takeout, it often
comes with some plastic cutlery and I
don't often use that plastic cutlery at
the fleshic meal. Can I now reuse it at
a different meal? Let's say it is now a
dairy meal. Can I use that plastic
cutlery that came with the fleshic
takeout at a dairy meal? So now if it
came in a plastic bag, as it often does,
then it's fine. Certainly no question.
If they just threw in some loose cutlery
in there and maybe something leaked on
it, you can rinse it off. It should be
fine to use. If you think that maybe it
touched some of the hot food directly,
then it would become fleshig and you
should not use it with a dairy meal. If
you used it to cut something, let's say
it was a knife, even if you used it to
cut something cold, then it should be
considered a ready fleshig and it should
not be used at a dairy meal.
