Dear Rabbi Simon
By accident I used a milky frying pan to fry chicken – can it be kashered?
Thanks
Olivia

Hi Olivia
Yes, your pan can be koshered. Clean it, leave it for 24 hours, then kasher via hag’alah (purging): Place it on the stove top flame. Fill most of the way with hot water from the kettle. As the water comes to a rolling boil slowly and carefully top it up with additional hot water from the kettle until it overflows. Voila!
Try not to do this too often.
Best wishes
Rabbi Rashi Simon

Ask the Rabbi: Quinoa on Pesach

Dear Rabbi Simon,
Where do you stand on quinoa (and the kitniyot ban) for Pesach?
Many thanks,

Dear Tzippy,

In line with other American authorities, I am in favour of quinoa. Although I reject completely the voices (mostly from Israel) seeking to abolish the ban on kitniyot entirely, IMO we do not need to include in the prohibition pseudo-grains that were unknown in the Old World until modern times. Best to buy with a Pesach hechsher though, to be free of any possible wheat contamination.
