When looking it up I read this: Visbiome Vet is Kosher and Halal certified. I wondered if this was necessary because it must be stored in the fridge and maybe someone who kept a kosher house would not store something not kosher in their fridge. Then they might need to buy a separate fridge just for dog meds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted September 1, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 1, 2020 I like bacon too much to keep a kosher home. Plus having two dishwashers seems a bit much. I didn't know what a Sabbath oven function was until I looked it up on the googler. You program your oven to cook on the Sabbath the day before because turning the oven on is considered "work" on the Sabbath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be separated and in their own containers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never be kosher because that is simply just a stupid level of maintenance, never mind the zero rational reasons for not eating certain foods. Yikes!

Kirby Posted September 1, 2020 Share #10 Posted September 1, 2020 From a random website I found: Quote Refrigerators and Freezers: These may be used for all food types. However, separate areas should be designated for meat and dairy foods. Sometimes a shelf or the door of the refrigerator or freezer is kept for dairy. If dairy is kept on a shelf inside the refrigerator, one should cover the shelf with aluminum foil or a plastic liner to prevent leakage onto other foods. If dairy drips on the foil, the foil must be carefully removed and replaced. Similar care must be taken with meat products inside the refrigerator. One should avoid placing hot meat or hot dairy foods in the refrigerator, as this may affect the other foods in the refrigerator and cause kashrut problems. I gather the containers are supposed to be sufficient to prevent leakage, but this become more significant in a communal refrigerator such as at work where you need extra precautions to make sure there is no leakage or tampering with the food.

Allen ★ Posted September 1, 2020 Share #11 Posted September 1, 2020 My friend texted back. She also said you are supposed to unscrew the light in the fridge on the day before the sabbath, and screw it back in the day after the sabbath. She did not explain as to why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the light is problematic because it goes on and off based on the person opening the door, so the person is effectively turning on the light which is one of the prohibited activities. on the Sabbath. Lights need to be passive such as on timers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Come Lately Name Posted September 1, 2020 Share #13 Posted September 1, 2020 Heh. Post title reminded me of something. My father had a co-worker who was Jewish. They were at an out-of-town event and the guy was eating shrimp. My dad asked him about it and he just shrugged and said he kept a Kosher home, but not a Kosher stomach.

Along with the ovens, there are lots of hotels with Shabbat elevators that are set to stop at every floor to avoid the work of button pushing. Helps keep the rule of not creating sparks or fire which has come to include electrical equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set the fridge not to turn the light on Friday and Saturday. You can also preset the oven to turn on by itself. I set the light to go off just to worry Einstein. He figured it out when reading the manual about the fridge lighting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
