Q. An elderly patient that needs as part of his diet a room temperature water drink mixed with corn starch (potato starch is not an option). He is able to seat by the seder and Yom Tov meals together with his family. As he often drips some of his drink, can he seat using the same tablecloth and dishes as the rest of the present?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that preferably he should use a disposable tablecloth, plates and cutlery, if possible. Otherwise, the utensils he uses should be marked and washed in a sink not in the Pesach kitchen. If unmarked dishes were used, after the fact the dishes are permitted.
