Responsa for Zevachim 192:6
א"ל מי דמי דם לא מפעפע בישול מפעפע ועוד תניא חומר בהזאה ממריקה ושטיפה וחומר במריקה ושטיפה מבהזאה
But it was not taught so, he protested?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' We do not find a teaching to corroborate this, whereas you said that your answer could be corroborated.');"><sup>11</sup></span> - It is logical that it is like a garment, he replied; j as a garment needs washing only in the place of the blood,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And that is explicitly taught in the Mishnah, supra 93b.');"><sup>12</sup></span> so a vessel requires scouring and rinsing only in the place of boiling.

Q. A drop of milk fell upon the outside of a boiling pot of meat. The volume of the pot and its contents was more than sixty times that of the milk. Are the contents of the pot as well as the pot itself fit for use?
A. In France I witnessed a great controversy over this matter. But, at the time, I failed to inquire into the reasons of both those who permitted and those who forbade the use of the pot and its contents. I also discovered that Ri forbade the use of the pot and its contents, probably for the reason that the drop of milk first rendered the pot unfit for use, and the pot, in turn, rendered its contents unfit for use.

Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A drop of milk fell on the outside of a (meat) pot covering the greater part of it. Are the pot and its contents fit for use?
A. Rabbenu Samson permits its use while Ri forbids it. Ri bases his opinion on the fact that a drop of milk does not spread over the whole pot, and since the part of the pot affected is not sixty times the volume of the milk, the milk is not neutralized. Therefore, even according to Ri if one could gage the volume of the milk and find a ratio of one to sixty to the volume of the part of the pot affected, the milk would be neutralized. In any event, if the loss be an appreciable one, or the enjoyment of the Sabbath or a holiday be involved, one may be lenient, in view of R. Samson's opinion.
