Question
Hi, We are renovating our kitchen and are thinking of getting a pot filler installed. I just want to make sure there are no Kashrut concerns first. Assuming it is folded and out of the way, is there any problem of Kashrut to use such a faucet on top of a boiling pot? Would the faucet become meat for example if I add water to boiling chicken soup? If it does, then can I use it just for parve lets say, and have it folded out of the way the rest of the time, would that still be parve, or would the steam from a chicken soup be problematic when its folded against the wall? Thanks
Answer
The only issue is when you are to open the faucet over say boiling hot chicken soup, and the water stream connects the spout with the soup, "climbing up" and deeming it meaty. But aside from that, if you keep it folded to the side and just use it for pareve, than it's no problem, and you don't have to worry about steam coming from the side. Titchadshu!!
