Commentaire sur Tevoul Yom 4:3
עֲרֵבָה שֶׁהִיא טְבוּלַת יוֹם, לָשִׁין בָּהּ אֶת הָעִסָּה וְקוֹצִין מִמֶּנָּה חַלָּה, וּמַקֶּפֶת וְקוֹרִין לָהּ שֵׁם, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהִיא שְׁלִישִׁי, וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי טָהוֹר לְחֻלִּין:
En ce qui concerne une auge [de pétrissage] qui est un tevulat yom [c'est-à-dire qui a été immergé ce jour-là], on peut y pétrir de la pâte, en couper une partie pour la challah , et amener [le reste de la pâte] près, et l'appeler un nom [de challah ]; parce qu'il est d'un troisième degré [impureté], et quelque chose d'un troisième degré est pur à l'égard de la chulline .
Bartenura on Mishnah Tevul Yom
לשין בה את העיסה – above (i.e., in the previous Mishnayot) we are teaching about a person who had immersed himself that day, but here we are teaching about a vessel that was immersed that day, so that you would not say that a kneading trough was prohibited for perhaps you might exchange it/switch it for a ritually impure/defiled one.

Introduction
This is the third mishnah in which we learn that something that has third degree impurity does not defile hullin.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tevul Yom
A trough which is a tevulat yom, one may knead dough in it and cut off the portion for hallah and bring it near and call it by name [as hallah]; for it [the trough] has third degree uncleanness and third degree uncleanness is clean in hullin. The kneading trough itself is a "tevulat yom" it was immersed in the mikveh to cleanse it, but the sun had not yet set. The person taking the hallah is pure, so she can simply remove the hallah, bring it near the dough without allowing it to touch the trough and call it by its name. Since the person is pure she doesn't need to first arrange it on a vessel that cannot receive impurity. And as we have learned before, since the trough has third degree impurity, it doesn't defile the dough itself, which is hullin.
