All About Hafrashat Challah. On this page: Utensils Sinks Ovens Tables Utensils Unless one is a vegetarian and totally excludes meat from their kitchen, a kosher kitchen must have two different sets of utensils, one for meat and poultry and the other for dairy foods. Sinks Ideally, it is best to have two kitchen sinks, one for meat and the other for dairy.
Separate racks are required for meat and dairy use. Care must be taken to make sure that the water not be allowed to rise to reach the level of the rack. Dishes cannot be soaked in a sink used for both dairy and meat. Ovens While nowadays many kosher homes use two ovens, this is impractical for many households to implement and there is of course room in halachah for cooking meat and milk in the same oven, though certain halachic limitations apply.
The guidelines of the OU are as follows: An oven may be designated for either meat or milk use. Meat may be cooked in any manner in a meat oven, and the reverse is true for milk. To cook one type of food in an oven designated for the other type, one must perform a koshering process, as enumerated below. To cook a covered milk dish in a designated meat oven or a covered meat dish in a designated milk oven , one must make sure that the oven is clean and then burn it out at degrees Fahrenheit for 60 minutes without the requirement of 24 hours downtime.
One may then cook covered milk in the oven. So long as the cover remained on, the oven need not be kashered again afterwards. The ideal set-up in the kosher kitchen is to have two separate stoves. A practical alternative is to use the full size range for meat, and a portable gas or electric range or cook top for dairy. Where one stove is used, separate burners designated for milk or meat use are preferable.
If this is not possible, extra care must be taken to keep the burners very clean. It is best to avoid cooking both types of food at the same time since the steam or food in one pot might splatter or escape to another, creating serious kashrut problems regarding the food and pots involved.
If it becomes necessary to cook both meat and dairy foods in separate pots at the same time, utmost care should be taken that the lids are secured tightly at all times and that an upright sheet of tin or other metal separates the pots. Take care to avoid lifting lids of both meat and dairy pots at the same time. If the lids must be lifted to check the food or add any ingredients, raise the lid only slightly off the pots, tilted away from the opposite pots.
The Oven and Broiler As the following paragraphs will describe, it is best to use your oven for only one type of food: meat, pareve or dairy. If only one oven is available, the use of portable broilers or toaster-ovens for other food types is advisable. Meat and dairy foods may never be baked or broiled in one oven at the same time, even in separate bake ware. Dairy foods should not be baked in a meaty oven, or vice versa. If you wish to keep an oven pareve and use it for both meat and dairy at separate times , consult an Orthodox Rabbi.
As a basic rule, meat or dairy foods cooked in a pareve oven must be tightly covered all around, including the bottom. It is advisable to place a piece of foil under the pan and to change it for meat or dairy use. The pan may only be opened for testing when it is completely removed from the oven.
See sidebar for an additional scenario. Small Appliances In order to be used for more than one food type meat, dairy, or pareve , an electric mixer, blender or grinder must have separate attachments, but may share a single motor. Even when using separate attachments, the machine should be cleaned well on all sides after each use. Dishwashers It is preferable for dishwasher to be designated for the exclusive use of either meat or dairy.
If you have further questions, consult and Orthodox Rabbi, as there are many factors involved in ensuring a kosher dishwasher. Why does Judaism place such emphasis on eating and drinking—basic necessities shared not only by all mankind but by animals and plant life as well?
