==Not Switching Between Meat and Milk==


#The minhag is not to switch over utensils from meat to milk except before Pesach when one is koshering the utensils for Pesach anyway. <ref>Magen Avraham 509:11 writes that the minhag is not to switch over utensils from meat to milk since one might come to make a mistake and forget whether currently it is meat or meat. Pri Megadim E"A 509:11 seems to say that the minhag is to make a utensil non-kosher so that it needs to be koshered and then switch it over from meat to milk. Pri Megadim E"A 451:30 writes that when koshering utensils for Pesach it is permitted to switch them over from meat to milk. Badei Hashulchan 89:112 agrees. However, the Aruch Hashulchan 89:17 argues with the Magen Avraham that we can't invent gezerot nowadays.</ref>

#Some say that it is permitted to kosher a utensil that used to be Parve and now became dairy to become parve again. <ref>Maharsham (responsa 2:241) explains that there was never a minhag in such a case to be strict not to change it over and also there's other factors to be lenient.
