Part 2 Flashcards
Liver is filled with blood which can be removed only through which mehtod?
Washing: Wash and remove any visible blood or blood clots from outside of liver.
Broiling: Cover oven with foil to avoid blood spatter that would render oven unkosher. Then cut across length and width, salt all sides lightly with coarse salt, and lay cut side down on the rack. Make sure to flip the liver so all sides are koshered.
Washing: After broiling wash three times, following the procedure of koshering meat.
How does one deal with a blood spot on an egg?
The egg must be disposed of for fear of potential embryo formation.
Why did the sages decree that one may not add milk to the dough of any bread regardless of whether or not one plans to eat the bread with dairy?
Because of the possibility of sin by unintentionally eating the bread with meat. The bread can be made with dairy if: it is formed in a unusual and distinct shape that would remind the consumer that it has dairy, it is a typical dessert bread such as danish or pastry that is not eaten with meat, or if it has a noticable cheese filling that is clear to the consumer.
What does the term “ben yomo” mean?
“of the day”. A “ben yomo’ dish has been used for food of its given type (milchig/dairy, fleishig/meat, traif/non-kosher) within the last 24 hours.
What does the term “eino ben yomo” mean?
Literally translated into “not of the day,” “eino ben yomo” refers to the taste (ta’am) absorbed into dishes/surfaces. Only after 24 hours are the flavore (milchig/fleishig) considered ta’am lifgam (unappetizing flavor) and the dish/surface can then be koshered.
How does one kasher an oven from meat to dairy use or vice versa if the oven does not have self-clean mode?
The interior (including the racks) and exterior must be thoroughly cleaned, then you must wait a full 24 hours without cooking or turning it on, after which the oven is turned on to the highest temperature (with the racks inside) for a full hour, on broil.
What does “bishul akuma” mean? What is the significance of this prohibition?
Bishul akum is food cooked by a gentile or non-Jewish person. This prohibition was put into place to avoid Jewish people from marrying gentiles. As well as to prevent the possibility of eating non-kosher food.
Does the prohibition of bishul akum apply to all foods.
No, the following foods are acceptable to eat:
1) Foods that can be eaten raw
2) Foods that would not be served as shulchan melachim (kings table)
Sphardim traditions do not allow any food to be eaten that was handled by a non-jew
Ashkanazi will eat the food if the fire was lit by a jew and a jew assisted in preparing the food.
List a few ways how foods and utensils can become non-kosher.
- A meat pot is used to cook dairy without kashering it or vice versa.
- Bread with milk or cheese is used for a hamburger.
- A full 24 hours is not waited before kashering a dish.
- Meat and dairy dishes are placed on the same rack inside of the dishwasher.
- Infestation
The minimum degree of heat required to cause transmittal of tasted is defined by the Talmud as to what?
Yad soledet bo, when the hand would draw back from the food from touching it.
Define kli rishon and kli sheni.
Literally translated into first and second dish, both are pots of water that will gradually cool down. The kli rishon has walls that maintain the heat of the product and is the first untensil in which the liquid is cooked. The kli sheni is the dish to which the original liquid is transferred and have walls that cool down the product..
Define the term “kavush kemevushal”.
Literally defined as “soaking is the equivalent of boiling.” Which means that the transfer of taste is possible of items soaked in a liquid for a FULL 24 hours.
Define the term “davar charif.” What are some examples of “davar charif.”
Spicy or sharp thing. Examples include: onions, garlic, chili peppers. If you cut something with a meat or dairy knife the meat/dairy is transferred to that food. The 24 hour wait time to “stale” the taste does not apply to this prohibition.
It is mentioned in the Torah that it is prohibited to cook a kid in its mother’s milk three times. Why is mentioned three times?
1) Not allowed to cook meat/dairy together
2) Not allowed to eat meat/dairy together
3) Not allowed to derive benefits from the combination of meat/dairy such as food to feed your dog or selling it
Is one permitted to place meat upon the table at which one is eating dairy (or the reverse) if one is eating alone? When does the prohibition not apply?
No, because one might accidentally mix meat and dairy. If eating alone and the table is large enough that the meat is not in hands reach it is okay to eat dairy on that table. If two acquaintances are eating and there is a marker (table cloth etc.) it is okay. It is also fine for strangers.
Is it permissible for two people who are acquaintances, one eating meat and one eating dairy to share one table? What if they are not acquaintances?
If a heker (reminder) is placed on the table to remind the acquaintances to not eat from each other, they may eat meat and dairy on the same table. The heker must be something not usually found on the table.
If it is two strangers no heker is required because it is rationalized that they would not eat from each other.
May one eat meat at a table with a non-Jewish aquaintance that is eating dairy food?
Yes, because it is understood that they would not be eating food prepared by a non- Jewish person and therefore would not mix meat/dairy.
How many hours must one wait between eating meat and dairy?
Six hours.
How long must one wait between eating dairy and meat?
30 minutes/eat something parve/rinse mouth/wash hands thoroughly for soft cheese. 6 hours for hard cheese.
May one cook meat and milk together if he does not own them?

How much meat must one eat in order to have to wait six hours before eating dairy?
Any amount of meat that is physically swallowed.
What should one do if he started eating dairy and then realized he was within six hours of eating meat?
Stop eating the dairy food and rinse his mouth to avoid benefit from eating the dairy and meat together. Then wait until the original wait time has passed.
May one eat a cold salad in a non-kosher restaurant?
No. The knives used to cut the salad are not kosher and therefore the salad is not considered kosher. Additionally, most vegetables need to be checked for insects to be considered kosher.
Is it permissible to use a microwave to heat both meat and dairy?
Yes, if the food is double wrapped to avoid the transfer of taste and spilling which would render the microwave unkosher.
Is it permissible to cook meat alongside dairy on the same stove?
Yes, if it is in separate pots, on separate burners while avoiding cross contamination. It is best to cook them at separate times.
Must one have separate sinks for meat and dairy?
No, but the dishes for meat and dairy should be washed separately at different times and not touch the sink or water pooling in sink.
Are separate sponges required to wash meat and dairy dishes?
Yes, because of the possibility of cross-contamination.
May one use the same gloves for washing meat and dairy dishes?
No, because of the possibility of cross-contamination.
Is it permissible to eat meat and fish together.
No.
-There is no Torah prohibition on eating meat/fish together because fish is technically considered parve, but the Talmud mentions the unhealthy nature of eating them together. This is where the separation became active.
Is it permissible to eat fish and dairy together?
Yes, different cultures follow different customs regarding fish and dairy. Generally speaking Ashkenazi do eat them together and Sephardim do not. Also, it is more acceptable to eat dairy products with fish and not pure milk.

No because once a liquid has cooled down, it reverts to its original state of being uncooked and heating it would significantly improve it.
