Question:
I used a dairy cutting board to cut an onion with a meat knife. What is the status of the onion, the cutting board, and the knife?
Answer:
While this matter is subject to some debate among the poskim, the practical ruling is that everything remains kosher. All that is required is to wash the knife and cutting board thoroughly with soap and water.
