Ten Minute Halacha
Materials that Can and Cannot be Kashered

Ten Minute Halacha
Materials that Can and Cannot be Kashered

The Chacham Tzvi in Simeon Einhei writes that even though after 24 hours of being in a Kli, the Blios of the Kli lose their Tam L'shvach and they become a Tam Pagum, after 12 months of having a Bliah in the Kli, the Bliah entirely disappears.

Materials that Can and Cannot be Kashered

and they have expensive porcelain dishes that have not been used in over a year.

Ten Minute Halacha
Materials that Can and Cannot be Kashered

So he says they could use those dishes if they do Hagala Gimel Pa'amin, if they do three times Hagala on it.

Ten Minute Halacha

Why?

Ten Minute Halacha
Materials that Can and Cannot be Kashered

Because Rav Moshe holds that there are three coolness to be mitzvahed.

Ten Minute Halacha
Materials that Can and Cannot be Kashered

Number one, you have the Chacham Tzvi, that after a year all the blios disappear.

Number two, you have the opinion of Rabbi Yaakov Emdin that porcelain has the status of glass because it's all glazed, it has a glaze on it, it has the status of glass, and that glass is not absorbed.
