| | Kashrut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Likewise, a "kosher pickle" is a particular style of pickle that originated in Eastern European kosher delis with a distinctive flavor. | | | Since there are few laws of Kashrut restricting the consumption of plant products it follows that a truly vegetarian meal would usually be inherently Kosher (as long as the milk and wine and bread are supervised and the utensils are never used for meat or unsupervised milk). | | | The practice of kosher slaughter emphasizes the sharpness of the knife and the accuracy and precision of the skill of the shochet, in order to slit the jugular of the animal with an absolute minimum of pain and suffering. |

| | Judaism 101: Kashrut: Jewish Dietary Laws |
| | A utensil picks up the kosher "status" (meat, dairy, pareve, or treyf) of the food that is cooked in it or eaten off of it, and transmits that status back to the next food that is cooked in it or eaten off of it. | | | A kosher household will have at least two sets of pots, pans and dishes: one for meat and one for dairy. | | | If you thereafter use the same saucepan to heat up some warm milk, the fleishig status of the pan is transmitted to the milk, and the milchig status of the milk is transmitted to the pan, making both the pan and the milk a forbidden mixture. |

| | I. General introduction to Kashrus |
| | These are “basar b’cholov” and “kilayim.” Although one is permitted to eat meat or milk of kosher animals, a cooked combination of milk and meat is prohibited. | | | Thus, for example, cows’ milk and goats’ milk are kosher. | | | We now turn to the case of kosher food that is added to a mixture that originally lacked the requisite amount of kosher food to effect nullification of the original non-kosher food. |

| | FindLaw's Writ - Colb: Why Kosher Fraud Statutes Aren't Kosher |
| | My family, for example, kept a strictly kosher kitchen at home but used to eat Kosher food - like spaghetti or fruit salad - in restaurants that also prepared and served non-Kosher food, even though we were Orthodox. | | | The New York Kosher Fraud Statutes define the word "Kosher" - when vendors use it to label food products - to mean food that has been "prepared in accordance with the Orthodox Hebrew religious requirements." (emphasis added). | | | In elementary school yeshiva, for example, I learned that the label (U) on food means an item is truly Kosher but that a K label cannot be trusted. |
