In other words the substance, which is forbidden because of the forbidden essence that it absorbed, is not regarded as nebelah and forbidden absolutely for all time, but it is even possible for it to become permitted once again when cooked with other substances.');"><sup>17</sup></span>
Rashi on Chullin

Tosafot on Chullin
A drop of dairy that falls upon a piece of meat, if it gives to the piece a taste - It will be forbidden...if the entire piece is outside of the sauce. This is discussed like it is said in Perek "Gid HaNaase" (Daf צו of Maasechet Chullin). Therefore, from this discussion, the piece [of meat] will nullify the drop [of dairy] and not the remaining pieces because the dairy spreads upon the whole piece, and doesn't spread from the piece to the other pieces. However, [to be finished later]

Rashi on Chullin
If it [the drop of dairy] gives taste to a piece [of meat] - that is to say; [if] the piece of meat by itself is not 60 times larger, to nullify the drop, the piece is immediately forbidden. And the remaining pieces in the pot are not discussed by the Tanna of our Mishna. The Gemara argues if the piece returns and makes [all pieces] forbidden or not.
