I’m new to sourdough, but have been making it consistently for a couple months now. I finally decide to buy a scoring tool. I kind of remember a frum Instagramer saying you don’t need to Toivel the blade, does this sound familiar to anyone? I obviously can ask a rav, but I’m curious why that would even be the case.

The OU says that anything that has limited use (1-2 uses) doesn’t have to be toiveled. My rav said I can use the blade 3-4 times before throwing it out.

Thanks!
I was actually reading through halachos of Tevila online and saw both the star k and OK said the same thing: if a utensil is always used only with raw/inedible items then it doesn’t require tevila. I never heard that before! I’m assuming that this is what the instagramer was referring to.

Here’s the star K if anyone would want to read through it.

My LOR said I don't need to toivel a food thermometer and it touches stuff that IS edible. Always best to check with your own LOR.

I asked my rav and he said to Toivel anyways. Oh well! Interesting either way.

I use each blade per batch. Was told that was ok.
I pay about 7 cents a blade so I don’t mind disposing it. And I find using a fresh one gives me better cures.

I remember my dad saying that if you have a needle for sewing a bird closed. You don't have to toeville it... I don't remember the reason but I would assume a blade for scoring is the same thing like a needle for sewing
