Does this Halacha not puzzle us?
Can anyone think of a Rov who would advocate this in a Halacha Shiur?

Y Deah 92:8
It is Muttar to hang meat above boiling pots of milk provided the steam
reaching the meat is less than YSoledes. The concluding Chumrah relates to
hanging meat lower and within the YSoledes range but using a lid on the pot
to shield the meat. One should not do this in the first instance, to avid
the risk of the rather common practice of removing the lid whereby the meat
will be exposed  to YSoledes steam.
Acharonim demand that the meat be scrubbed but this is not the intent of the
Rema who is Mattir. We are NOT permitted to dip meat in warm butter and then
wash it down, besides the Lashon of the Rema does not support such
additional safeguards.

Most surprising about this Halacha is that the condensate from the boiling
milk, which although less than YSoledes, is certainly reaching and
condensing on the meat, is deemed to be of no Kashrus consequence.

I should like to compile a list of such Halchos to use as a yardstick by
which we might be able to calibrate where Yiddishkeit is going or has gone.
Is that a reasonable proposal?
