Tips For Preparing Quality Kosher Meals

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.

These meals are like any other meal you have ever prepared in the sense that you need to cook them and serve them. However, there are certain aspects relating to sourcing of food items you will need to understand. The word Kosher has its origin in one of the traditions in the Middle East. It means pure. It also means fit 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 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.

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.

When it comes to the slaughtering activity, not everyone qualifies for this job. There are certain persons recognized as well-versed in the ritualistic slaughtering procedure. The law of that religion is against any form of unkindness shown to creatures. This means the person who does the work must know how to slay the creature without unnecessarily hurting it.

After slaughtering the animal, the specialist together with his assistants must handle the carcass. This involves the removal of parts that are not permitted such as certain veins and fats. After this, the meat needs to be put in water and must remain soaked for half an hour. A salting process follows where the meat is salted for sixty minutes.

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.
