A fully kosher household, for example, might have two or more different sets of flatware, tableware and cooking ware for making and serving meat dishes separate from dairy-based dishes.
Not only do most Jews who observe kashrut avoid eating any meat and milk products together, many also wait a certain amount of time-30 minutes to a few hours-between eating meat and dairy.Įverything the foods touch must be kept completely separate. One of the more well-known restrictions is the injunction against mixing meat with dairy products. Regardless of their origins, however, these age-old laws continue to have a significant impact on the way many observant Jews go about their daily lives. The origins of Jewish dietary or kosher laws ( kashrut) have long been the subject of scholarly research and debate.
