1) An Ashkenazic Jew who uses a meat baking pan which wasn't used in 24 hours and is totally clean, to bake a Parve food, should L'Chatchilah not eat that food together with dairy (and vice versa for a dairy pan used to bake Parve, should not be eaten L'Chatchilah with meat)
If there is a situation where eating this food with the opposite class is extremely necessary, there are leniencies to be relied upon, and a Rav should be consulted. (See Chochmas Adam Klal 48:2. See also Kovetz M'Beis Leivi Vol. 4 page 179 Os 66)
2) For Sephardic Jews, it is permissible L'Chatchilah to eat this parve food with foods of the opposite class than the pan. (See Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Siman 95:1 and 2 and Shu"t Yabia Omer Vol. 4 Yoreh DeahSiman 4)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER:
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Todaywebsite.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
There is a famous saying that "Hashem only gives you what you can handle." My father and I were discussing this and wondered if this is a true passuk/idea from Chazal or Gemara that has a true source (if so where is it from) or is this a secular quote that just sounds nice with "G-D" substituted as "Hashem" ?
Answer:
That is a very real idea based on Chazal.
The source that I can think of on top of my head is the Gamara in Avoda Zara 3a, where it says "Ain HaKadosh Baruch Hu Ba B'trunia Im Briyosav" which basically means that Hashem does not expect people to do things that they cannot do.
See also Ramban Parshas Vayeira Perek 22:1 where he touches upon this idea as well.
This idea is found all over, including Gemara, Chovos HaLevavos, MaHaral, Michtav M'Eliyahu just to name a few, and is a basic tenet of Torah-True Judaism!
If Hashem gives you a Nisayon, it has been taylor made for you! And nobody else would be able to pass it, as it is your test.
In fact, the Seforim say that the Nisayon of Akeidas Yitzchok was taylor made for Avraham, and not for Sarah as she would not have been able to handle it. And in fact when she was ultimately informed of it (by Og Melech HaBashan who was not supposed to inform her) she actually died! (see Rashi Parshas Chayei sarah 23:2)
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות - one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
