# One should kosher one's table by pouring on it boiling water or cover it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 451:20 writes that one should kosher one's tables since often one spills soup on it. Isn't the majority of use of a table for cold? [Note that the language of Shulchan Aruch is that it is only a minhag.] | # One should kosher one's table by pouring on it boiling water or cover it.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 451:20 writes that one should kosher one's tables since often one spills soup on it.

* Megilat Sefer Tarovet p. 271-2 writes that the majority use is defined by whatever the utensil is designated for and potentially it could be designated for multiple uses. Regarding tables since the spills happen because you are using the table to hold food that is also part of the use of the table. | * Megilat Sefer Tarovet p. 271-2 writes that the majority use is defined by whatever the utensil is designated for and potentially it could be designated for multiple uses.

* Chut Shani Pesach p. 125-6 based on Gra answers that it is a utensil that is designated to be used for iruy. The fact that is used for cold doesn't relate to the use of spills since when it is used for cold or to hold a plate it doesn't absorb anything. Therefore, its use in terms of absorptions is only for spills and as such its majority of use requires it to have hagalah with iruy. However, he is troubled by Shulchan Aruch 451:25 who says that cups can just be cleaned since they are used for a majority of cold. He simply posits that if they were ever used for hot they couldn't be used without koshering. | * Chut Shani Pesach p. 125-6 based on Gra answers that it is a utensil that is designated to be used for iruy.
