Start from there. Enjoy!
Didn’t hear the part about cereal?!?
Didn’t hear the part about snacks ALL SNACKS?!?

Aygart has already answered, but since this was addressed to me I'll answer as well. He talks about those things in the context of bishul yisroel, not pas yisroel.

There are a few points here which you misunderstood.

First and foremost among them is that he was explaining reasoning to be lenient regarding coffee by being mitztaref together different opinions. This applies to bishul only and not pas.

One of those opinions is one that holds that a snack is by definition not OASM. According to this opinion, all snacks are not called OASM. This is not by any means agreed to by all. The Mechaber very specifically states that it does not need to be ללפת את הפת but rather even if it is לפרפרת it can be called OASM.

He never even said that all snacks are mutar as an actual psak.

ETA: Later on he does say that snacks are not OASM and understands that even פרפרת is only discussing in a meal. I find this to be a big chiddush and many recent poskim have clearly held otherwise. I will need to look further into this.

Rav Asher Weiss is the semi-official posek of the OU and has a trailblazing mehalech in Psak. Razor sharp logic.
Many recognize him as the posek hador.

[moko]

It is made in a popper.

steamed and dried. Some have argued that it's essentially an oven with steam. Others have said it's bishul.
It's common for newer ovens to have steam setting. (Rational, Altosham, etc)

This made the whole conversation about sushi seem very strange.

Anyone familiar with whats allowed in this case?

 Baked some sweet potatoes in my fleishig Oven, the oven was not used in the past 24 hours prior to baking the sweet potatoes, can I use those potatoes in a milchig salad?
   Yes I know the potatoes are parve. But do they retain a flieshig status? Or fleishig keilim idea and should not be placed in a milchig salad?

Was the oven clean?

[myi]

Was the oven clean?

Yes.
 
  Ovens are always spot free in my home bh.
 So no oil and chicken stains in the oven.

[shaulyaakov]

Seems like at worst a classic case of nat bar nat and therefore would be allowed bidieved.

Also many say that a clean oven returns to pareve status when it cools down anyway. Others say if the oven isn't Ben yomo and clean then it's pareve. So you've got a lot going for you.

Thanks, heard that even should there be a little spill in oven there's not enough liquid to cause the zeyah to spread and cause the potatoes to become flieshig.
   It's a like a parve oven as it wasn't used in over 24 hrs.

In his defense, sushi is very not popular in Israel.

What's the makor for large kitchens only checking 3 pieces of lettuce and relying on a chazaka that the rest of the pieces have no bugs?

where do they do this and Uber who's auspices?

[chief_mag]

In Yeshiva. We knew they didn't check all the lettuce, it would be impossible with the amount needed and staff available. This was discussed as the reason it was able to be done.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm wondering what the makor is (if there is one).
