Question
1. Do metal can openers require tevila? If not,why not?
2. If a paper towel touches something not toveled, can it be used? or does the non toveling "spread"?
Answer
shalom uvracha,
1. No, it doesn't need tevila. It doesn't touch the food. (see Shulchan aruch yoreh deah, 120,4).
2. It doesn't spread.
