I have two questions about kashrut.
The first is we bought a waffle maker and did not know that it had to be kashered before use. Since waffles that have been in there we’re on plates, are those plates then traef? The waffle maker was brand new.
And the second is: we have two sinks, but the hot water only works on the meat. Am I allowed to put hot water from the meat sink into dairy mugs?
Answer to question A:
Your question is not understandable enough! If you bought it brand new “first hand”, then you need to be tovel it in a mikvah (and it’s not traef), and if you have not dippet in a mikvah, then the plates are not prohibited from eating retroactively, let alone that the plate in them was not prohibited. And if you bought it from “second hand” and you are afraid that it was used earlier in the prohibition, then since the Belgian waffles has not been in use 24 hours, the waffles are not banned from eating, so as the plates in which you placed the waffles.
Answer to question B:
This is allowed.
