I cooked rice in a fleishig pan, then transferred the rice to a fleishig enamelware baking dish (for serving purposes; it’s pretty).
Just before dinner I stirred in some margarine whose hechsher has always been parve. A friend was in the kitchen helping me so I handed her the margarine package and asked her to put it back in the frig. She pointed out this product’s hechsher is no longer parve, but dairy.
Horrified (but grateful for having caught it in time) I threw out the rice and set aside the enamelware pan. Can the dish be salvaged?
(BTW, when I stirred in the margarine, the rice was warm, not steaming hot.)
Hard to believe that, having kept kosher since my early adulthood (and I just turned 72!), I never before made a mistake like this one (PLENTY of others!), so thank you for advising me.
(I can’t be objective about researching this because the dish has great emotional meaning to me.)
