How To Ensure Your Kosher Meals Meet The Requirements

By Carolyn Rogers


If you operate a restaurant, you need to come up with ways of increasing sales. While you sell food because you love it and want to share that goodness with others, you need to ensure you are not operating at a loss. Consider the community you are serving and ask yourself what kind of dishes will satisfy them. There could be enough people in the community need kosher meals.

These meals are not special in any unique way, they are like the other types of food you prepare at your eatery. That said, you must get all the vital information relating to these items. Where you get the items from matters. Kosher is a foreign name given to products for consumption that certain religious precepts consider to be clean and useful for consumption purposes.

You have decided there is demand for such products. Now, you need to be one hundred percent conversant with all the laws and rules concerning the handling of fleshy produce. The community you will be serving needs to feel you have faithfully observed all relevant regulations when sourcing the products. It is a must for you to gain a clear understanding of the religious rules involved. You must differentiate permitted from forbidden products.

If you are serving meat as one of the delicacies, you ought to comply with certain rules. Fundamentally, you want to understand what the law of the Torah says explicitly concerning permitted types of meat. According to this law, meat from animals having cloven hooves and which chew cud is considered to be permitted. This means you can serve meat from cows, bulls, goats, sheep, and springbok.

Any animal that meets one condition and fails to meet the other is not pure. An animal that chews the cud and has hooves that are not split should not be eaten. A camel is a good example. Also, a creature with cloven hooves but does not belong to the class of creatures that chew the cud, such as a pig, should not be slaughtered.

Not every person who knows how to perform the slaughtering exercise can kill the animals that provide compliant products. The slaughtering procedure involves some rituals, and only a specialist who understands the process can perform the act. The Torah is against the careless killing of animals. When slaughtering, no unnecessary pain should ever be inflicted.

The slaughterer and his team clean the meat after the beast has been skinned. When they are performing this activity, they get rid of forbidden parts of the flesh such as certain veins as well as body fats. After this part, the carcass requires soaking for thirty minutes in at-room-temperature water. Coarse salt is used for an hour to salt both sides of the carcass, a process which draws water from the flesh.

Regarding birds, certain types of fowls cannot be slaughtered. The swan, owl, stork, eagle, vulture, and the pelican are classified as forbidden products. Additionally, eggs and young ones from these creatures should not be eaten. Chicken, duck, turkey, and goose comprise a category of fowls recognized as permitted birds. As such, you are allowed to use their flesh in preparation of these meals.
