I found a dairy spoon in my meat drawer
what do I do now well the first thing
really you should do is you should call
your Rabbi and the reason is because
there's different possibilities as to
what might have happened here generally
speaking we're lenient in this type of
situation the reason being because
there's many different seos there's many
different possibilities as to how it
might have ended up there some might
have just uh picked it up and put it
back in the WR drawer or it might have
been washed but the water wasn't yet the
water wasn't too hot that it would cause
anything flaks or milkes to happen it's
also possible that it was washed by
itself and we have a general rule that
when something has a kazaka it's started
out as a kosher item until we know
otherwise we generally will leave it as
being kosher therefore uh generally
speaking is fine however it is good to
speak it over with a rabbi because if
one knows for instance that they always
wash the utensils in a dishwasher where
the water is obviously going to be very
hot it will be washed together with the
fesa dishes so then they could have
technically problems therefore generally
it's okay but it's good to speak it over
