Glossary of Kashrut Terminology
by Rabbi Dovid Bendory
-
Aino ben yomo — A meat (dairy) pot that has not
been used to cook meat (dairy) in the last 24 hours is an aino ben yomo
pot. Any absorbed tastes are lifgam.
-
B'dieved — a posteriori. Refers to
an acceptable halachic position but one that is short of ideal.
B'dieved pareve food that was prepared in a meat pot that was mixed
with dairy may be eaten.
-
Ben yomo — A meat (dairy) pot that has
been used to cook meat (dairy) in the last 24 hours is a ben yomo pot.
Any absorbed tastes are lishvach.
-
Irui — pouring. Usually used in conjunction
with the kind of kli from which the pouring occurs. For example,
irui kli rishon refers to pouring from a kli rishon into a
kli sheini.
-
Kli — A utensil. This could be a pot, fork,
tray, tongs, bowl, cup, saucer... any utensil, dish, or cooking item in the
kitchen.
-
Kli Rishon — A cooking pot heated on the
stove. Literally "a primary vessel." For example, a soup pot.
-
Kli Sheini — A vessel into which food is
poured from a kli rishon. Literally "a secondary vessel". For example,
a large serving bowl into which soup is poured and then carried to the table.
-
Kli Shlishi — A vessel into which food is
poured from a kli sheini. Literally "a tertiary vessel". For example, a
soup bowl in which soup is eaten after being served from a serving bowl.
-
L'chatchila — a priori. Refers to
the ideal halachic condition. L'chatchila we don't prepare pareve food
in a meat pot if we intend to eat the food with milk.
-
Lifgam — spoiled. A lifgam food gives
a spoiled taste.
-
Lishvach — the opposite of lifgam.
-
Yad soledet bo — hot. Literally, hot enough
that if you touch it your reflex is to pull your hand away. This is the
minimal temperature at which cooking occurs for kashrut purposes and is
