ניתן למצוא את עיקר טענת הרב איתם הנקין באנגלית כאן:
I took a wooden spoon (an old one, like utensils in the average kitchen) and for about half a minute I used it to stir milk that had been boiled in a glass cup. I then washed the spoon well, and then stirred with it, also for a half minute, about half a cup of tea which had been boiled in a small metal pot (a cezve). At the same time, I stirred the same amount of tea using a new metal spoon. I tasted it myself and gave it to my family to taste (as mesihim lefi tumam, without knowledge of the experiment) and no one could discern any difference in taste between the cups. Even when the family members were asked to guess which of the two cups was “dairy,” the success of the guesses wavered as expected at around 50% (pp. 25-26).
לעניות דעתי בזה תם כל הדיון לצמיתות, ואפשר לגנוז את כל דברי העוררין. כל החכמים שדנו בנושא היו צריכים מקודם לעשות את המבחן הפשוט הזה!
ד”ר שפירו כותב שם: the fact is that stainless steel by definition does not absorb taste. זאת מנין לו?
