How To Ensure Your Kosher Meals Meet The Requirements

By Carolyn Rogers


If you are in the restaurant business, you must be wondering if there is a way you could grow the revenue. You are a confirmed heavy feeder and love watching others enjoy the delicious meals you have cooked. Passion matters, but profits are critical. Introduce multicultural dishes and even kosher meals, as long as the surrounding community would appreciate it and be willing to pay you.

Kosher dishes are like other everyday meals. While they are normal foods cooked in normal ways, they have been produced from the source following certain processes and procedures. To offer meals that are fully compliant, you must have a working knowledge of what kosher is and how it affects preparations of such items. This term has a religion-based origin, and it applies to all items categorized as suitable for consumption.

If you are serving a community that wants these kinds of meals, you will have to earn their trust. You want them to know you understand what kosher means and all the rules and regulations involved. You need to assure them that the food you are serving has been obtained under strict observance of all the religious rules applicable. You must have a thorough understanding of what is permitted and forbidden foods.

If your restaurant is serving meat to that community, be sure to follow all the applicable religious laws. Familiarize yourself with the specific requirements of the Torah, especially regarding what types of items are allowed or disallowed. The Torah expressly defines kosher flesh as that which has been produced by animals that chew the cud and have cloven hooves have been properly slaughtered. Mutton and beef are allowed.

If a type of animal fails to satisfy either of these requirements, the product from such a creature will not be deemed fit for consumption. For instance, a camel is known to chew the cud, but the hooves are undivided. In the same breath, a pig has divided hooves, but the creature does not regurgitate feed. The law from the Torah eliminates these two animals from the list of permitted items for your menu.

Another important factor taken into consideration is who did the slaughtering and how they performed the act. According to these regulations, not every person is permitted to slaughter animals. The right animals must be slaughtered by the right person to qualify as licensed food. The beast needs to be slaughtered in a way that does not cause pain to them, too.

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.

When it comes to birds, not all of them can be eaten. Among birds you cannot prepare a meal from are the swan, eagle, owl, pelican, stork, and the vulture. The eggs from these animals are not permitted as well, nor are their young ones. You can only get your supplies from permitted bird species such as goose, chicken, turkey, and the duck.
