Serving Kosher Food

• 1). Only appropriate meats allowed, as meat such as pork is never considered kosher. Generally, it is a safe bet that any vegetarian or especially vegan meal is within the boundaries of acceptable kosher guidelines, as there will be no mixing of meat and dairy.
  
  
• 2). Ensure that all platters and tableware are kosher. A kosher household maintains two sets of plates, with a distinct separation drawn between items used for working with dairy and meat products.
  
  
• 3). Meat and dairy at separate meals. For example, a kosher beef burger with kosher cheese would contain both dairy and meat and is therefore unacceptable. Generally, a period of four to six hours must pass between the consumption of either meat or dairy, to ensure that the two food types are not mixed in the digestive system.
  
  
• 4). Separate sinks should be used in the rinsing and cleaning of utensils designated as kosher. In dishwashers, separate racks must be used to hold the utensils, and a separate load should be run for either food type, meat or dairy, and loads should not be mixed when washing.
