How do you prepare kosher meat?

Answer 1

In order to be kosher, food has to be prepared according to the kosher-laws (see Deuteronomy ch.14).

* Meat must be from those land animals which have split hooves and chew their cud (such as beef and mutton)

* Fish have to have scales and fins. The kosher diet excludes shellfish.

* Birds cannot be amongst those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only poultry-species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as chicken and turkey.

* Animals must be slaughtered in the manner specified by Jewish law and must be free of all disease. In actual practice, those who keep kosher purchase meat which is certified as kosher.

* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done by the kosher butcher.

* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.

*Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.

Answer 2

How meat is prepared really depends on the cut. Obviously, one isn't going to prepare a roast the same way one would prepare a steak. However, if the meat is kosher and you wish to keep it kosher, it must be prepared in a kosher kitchen.

* Birds cannot be among those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers. In actual practice, today we eat only poultry-species concerning which we have a tradition that they're permitted, such as chicken and turkey.

* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat before cooking, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17). This is done by the kosher butcher, through salting, soaking and rinsing.
* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other. After dairy: 1/2 hour. After meat: 6 hours for most Jewish communities.

Jewish meat must first follow a list of rules listed in the Torah. They must be slaughtered a certain way, and then inspected by rabbis.

Answer 4

Generally, you just buy kosher meat from a kosher butcher or a supermarket, and prepare it like any other meat. Kosher meat does tend to be saltier, so you might want to go easy with the salt in the recipe.
