From the Rav’s Desk – Q&A’s on Kashrus & More

Question:

I accidentally used a clean meat baking pan to bake dairy pizza in my dairy oven. Is it possible for me to kosher my baking pan with Hagala or must it have Libun?

 

Answer:

Yes, it can be Koshered through Hagalah.

 

Explanation:

By Basar Bechalav, we never require Libun Gamur by a Kosherable vessel that absorbed meat and then absorbed milk.

 

Sources: Admur 451:13 in gloss; 1st approach in Shach 121:7; unlike 2nd approach in Shach ibid, based on ruling of Ramaz 96, that requires Libun Chamur even by Basar Bechalav if it absorbed meat or dairy directly without liquid; See Pesakim Uteshuvos 121:7; See also Hakashrus 1:37 and footnote 67 who writes that baking pans cannot be Koshered at all, as they require Libun Chamur. Based on above, however, this is inaccurate, as Hagala suffices in the scenario that one simply cooked meat in it after cooking milk or vice versa.

Yes.
