Senior Halachic Consultants, OU Kashruth

In this priceless webcast presentation, OU Kashruth’s internationally-renowned Poskim again bring their immense knowledge and understanding to bear on practical issues in the kosher kitchen. Numerous relevant topics are discussed, such as: Do Insta-Hot faucets become “meat” or “dairy”? Does anything besides a utensil have to be designated “meat” or “dairy” in my kitchen? Does my baby need to wait six hours after eating meat? What do I do with heirloom non-kosher china? Tune in to this tour de force in which timeless halachos are applied to timely day-to-day questions. This webcast was recorded live at the OU’s headquarters in New York on November 25, 2008.
