The soup is pareve but cooked in meat equipment
Can I use my pareve hand mixer/blender to make it a blended soup?
Or will that change the pareve mixer to meat status?
The soup is hot btw.

Ty!

Would it be possible to boil the mixer blades after using it? That might restore it's parve status?

When you have time. Before using it on anything milk.

The answer will likely depend on factors such as when the pot was last used for meat and if the soup contains any ingredients classified as a davar charif (ie onions). It might be OK if you wait for the soup to cool, but I'm certainly not a posek.

Thanks Dolly and Rutabega!
I just enjoyed the soup chunky, for now... ;-)

certainly not while it's hot ...

I'm also not so sure I would be comfortable using anything pareve on something cold but cooked in a meat pot ...

if it happened by mistake is when I would ask the shayla's - not just because ...

I would do it if it was cold. If the pot was not Ben Yomo (used for meat in the past day) then I would, according to my Rav, be able to treat it as pareve. You don't really have a question as long as things are colder than Yad soledet bo. Especially if the pot is not ben yomo.

In general, I follow my own Rav and for quick reference, Rav Binyamin Forst, but I also work as a Mashgiach and

If the pot was clean and not used for meat in 24 hours then the food has a parve status and therefor you can use your blender in it.

That's what my Rav told me.

I am not a Rav I am just telling you what my Rav told me.

Thanks for the insights! I realized I think I fried the onions in a Fleishic fry pan, although the pan had not been used for meat in over a day. The veggie soup was also cooked in the fleish crock pot for shabbos lunch (tried something different than the usual chulent). I feel like even if I use the pareve hand blender on the soup while it's cold, it is still spinning blades - doesn't that have a different treatment sometimes?

also the material composite of the crock pot will matter ... is it a stone liner or a stainless steel, etc.
